I have a slight preference edge for 4e. You always have everything you need to run the monster in the stat block and they are in an order you expect. No real extraneous cruft in the stat block part. Decent use of shading for visual line differentiation. 5e also has most things you want without...

Undead Slayer’s Handbook Pathfinder 1e Undead, Undead Creature, Undead Monster, Undying Monster: But the most horrific fate of all can be found on Golarion itself in the form of an unpredictable and malignant curse—a blight for which a horrifying death is just the beginning. Souls that succumb...

I found the 1e paladin restrictions fairly restrictive on party composition or allowable adventure plots. "Paladins will have henchmen of lawful good alignment and none other; they will associate only with characters and creatures of good alignment; paladins can join a company of adventurers...

I agree the 1e paladin restrictions on companions was a fairly terrible model for a group game of open options and extending that model to barbarians made things worse. Gygax was always looking for ways to cripple thieves. :) Eh, the big loss is in not advancing find remove traps or pick locks...

Medieval is fairly vague so it might help to define Medieval for your purposes. Mostly for Medieval I think of heraldry types of beasts like a Griffin which seems not that changed. Maybe some King Arthur and knights of the round table stories so maybe Ogres and Hill Giants? Cocatrice and...

Aranea is there but has an LA of +4 and 3 racial HD so a steep initial cost. I played one and it was fun but it was starting as a high level already.

Except he can't. To switch class you need not only a 17 in the principal attribute(s) of the new class you need a 15 in the current one(s). You also need to be human. So a fighter drained of strength down to a 6 by a shadow or a magical pool cannot switch to a new class. New rules would have...

WoG boxed set page 12:

It is unspecified so up to a DM call for their campaign. Yours is not an unreasonable inference, I and those I knew just made different ones such as masterless levelling MU research was magical research in general and so discoveries were surprise breakthroughs where your research led. That was...

My long running 1e campaign from the 80s I had everybody use their choice of 1e DMG options RAW for stat generation. I think most used the 4d6 take the top 3 and arrange by choice method. When we did B/X it was RAW 3d6 in order with the official options for lowering some stats 2-1 to bump up a...
