I have had arguments from some of my own players that think that 3.5 is the best addition and that we should incorporate that into the 2E game.<br /><br />I get what your saying, yeah 1E lead eventually to 2E. That doesn't mean it is the same bloody game. I am playing with the idea of trying a hybrid of the two, yet a larger portion of my mind is telling me to keep the two apart with a nice little crowbar.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903390795990245944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602032324666783383.post-38872452367428583722011-09-18T17:31:07.059-04:002011-09-18T17:31:07.059-04:00Lol, I wasn't actually meaning Monks and Assas...Lol, I wasn't actually meaning Monks and Assassins as in that was what was causing the problem. I was already aware of Faiths and Avatars as well as the Scarlet Brotherhood. I had just been in a . . . heated discussion where someone was trying to imply that 1st edition rules were a part of core second edition, and I'm finding it to be a fairly common misconception among many hybrid 1e/2e gamers. which is why I finally snapped and wrote a blog post on it.2eDMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09562222394843621495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602032324666783383.post-89068595362357365432011-09-18T17:04:42.611-04:002011-09-18T17:04:42.611-04:00I can recommend Scarlet Brotherhood - it's a f...I can recommend Scarlet Brotherhood - it's a fun book about how an evil country can work credibly. As well as having assassins and monks. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678503778316350427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602032324666783383.post-14769538325097338432011-09-18T15:03:34.335-04:002011-09-18T15:03:34.335-04:00I thought the same thing about monks and assassins...I thought the same thing about monks and assassins for a long time. There are some variants in different "splat books." I don't know how core you want to go. If you want to use only the PHB and DMG and MM, then disregard. However, in the Faerun Faiths and Avatars book, there is a spell casting monk variant. In the Thief Handbook, there is an assassin variant. And, in one of the very last books out, a book called The Scarlet Brotherhood, there are 1st ed. assassins and monks that have been converted into 2E versions. In fact, I am about to start a 2E game with that Scarlet Brotherhood monk. (As an aside, I dug up the Scarlet Brotherhood gem by listening to THACO's Hammer, a podcast about 2E. It is pretty good.)<br /><br />Hope this helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903390795990245944noreply@blogger.com
