I've been playing in a
3e campaign since it came out. When 3.5 came out, we were upset at some of the changes that weren't done. So we went back to
2e. The most glaring difference between the two editions was the lack of excitment when leveling. After playing
3e, leveling is a lot of fun. New abilities, new feats, skill points, etc. Leveling in
2e...hit points. Granted, we were pretty high level, but we didn't have much of anything to look forward to. So, we went back to
3e, but kept some things from
2e, mainly combat stuff. Weapon speeds, new initiative each round, etc. We've been having a blast again.
Another problem we had was that we were too powerful for the monsters at the level that we were supposed to be fighting. Our
DM fixed it by just increasing hit points and such.
I will say this, we were worried about fast advancment. But, our
DM just adjusted things so that we moved at whatever rate he wanted us to move at.
With an old school
DM,
3e can be just as fun if not more fun. You get the glitz and flash of
3e, but the old school feeling. As with any
RPG, a good
DM makes all the difference.
