    AD&D 1E Three Things that can't be Fixed in 1e AD&D

    For me the conjecture is downtime experimentation and research that comes up with something unexpected. Level up is when you get those epiphanies and breakthroughs.

    What RPG(s) did you stick with an earlier edition?

    Vampire the Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition, which is a collation of stuff from Vampire the Masquerade Revised. This is me as a player as I have never run it but our group specifically chose this over Vampire the Requiem (despite the storyteller liking aspects of Requiem) and then again...

    AD&D 1E Three Things that can't be Fixed in 1e AD&D

    The acquiring a spell per level is its own rule (DMG page 39) separate from the training rules (DMG page 86) which includes both training under a higher level character and self training. That could be one way to to do it, but that is never specified. Generally you train under a specific...

    If you hit your max spells on your first go through you stop. If you don't meet your minimum you go through again as you say until you hit your minimum number then you stop. "Minimum Number of Spells/Level states the fewest number of spells by level group a magic-user can learn. If one...

    Turns out when I looked up the 3.0 shocking grasp duration I was mistakenly looking in a 3.5 source. :) In the 3.0 SRD it says permanent until discharged. Shocking Grasp Transmutation [Electricity] Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Target: Creature or object...

    AD&D 1E Three Things that can't be Fixed in 1e AD&D

    Dimensional anchor. IMO Diablo and Doom type fights are things that a paladin in Hell should be reasonable to happen out of the box without a 4th level spell.

    AD&D 1E Three Things that can't be Fixed in 1e AD&D

    It was annoying, which is fine for a one off villain fight where we beat him. It required a different tempo using less effective attack sequences and was a change of pace. If he had fled and come back again and again after using his fast healing it would have gotten tiresome quick. Pretty much...

    AD&D 1E Three Things that can't be Fixed in 1e AD&D

    Readying an action to get off a standard action attack was an option too to interrupt a spell, but you had to give up full attacks to do so and maybe have it be entirely wasted if the trigger did not happen. I can remember a fight where our only option was readying attacks against the foe (ogre...

    D&D General Reincarnate is and has always been, weird.

    I was looking something up in the B/X expert book and saw this sixth-level magic user spell:

    AD&D 1E Three Things that can't be Fixed in 1e AD&D

    3e and 3.5 worked the same, both had holding the charge as a general rule for touch spells and both gave shocking grasp an instantaneous duration. B/X did not have shocking grasp. :) Web at even 10' range means you can cast it past your front row tankers as a wall if you want. 1e was always...
