Just a relaxing poll. VOTE! (OR DIE!)

Note: multiclassing is under "Some multiclass shit".

If you did not play 2nd edition, kill yourself.

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

The Bard in AD&D 1st edition was awesome. Took forever to get to Bard, IF you were lucky enough to qualify, but once you got there it was devastating in game play. Not much could match it

Second edition not so much.

The Wild Mage, introduced in in Unearthed Arcana (TSR ed. iirc) was exceedingly fun to play.

Oh and if you preferred 2nd edition over 1st edition AD&D go DIAF

However I vote dart thrower...

Elven Rogue 9/Wizard 15 ( at the end of the campaign )...

Originally he was meant to be a Rogue with some magic to help him get things done, but through the campaign he became more of a wizard with rogue abilities.

Yes I did... I don't care about whips.

It was our high time, the campaign started in a French setting ( Laelith ), and then it devolved in plannar/world jumping...
We visited Krynn ( where I told those fucking color robed wizards where they could put their robes  [ No I don't want your fucking robe, Light Blue is a nice color that I like, I'll keep that color, if you're not happy with that... Too bad ]), we visited a few other French settings, and I ended up in Hollow World when it came to settle down.

Honestly we were getting bored of the MERP campaign I had been running for several years, and we wanted to do something new. That was before we all fell into Shadow World and came back to Rolemaster ( actually the ADD Campaign was run parallel to the end of the MERP( well Rolemaster in Middle Earth ) one and the begining of the the Rolemaster-Shadow World one.

Well, skills were introduced in 2.0 but only in 3.0 did you get spending skill up to 3+lvl rank.

Not unless they were house-ruling it, he didn't.  Only humans could dual-class; elves could multi-class as a mage/thief (among other combinations) so he could have done that.  Even then though, he couldn't have been Thief 9/Mage 15; Thief XP was way lower than Mage, so XP for 15 Mage would have been around 18 Rogue.  I'm guessing either serious house-ruling or some encounters with crazy shit like the Deck of Many Things.

Dual-classing was ugly in 2e, and unneccesarily restrictive.  Lots of groups more-or-less ignored the rules as written for that very reason. Smiley

I was usually a fighter type ... usually Myrmidon kit.

Then ... then I discovered the wild mage.  Man o man was that a hell of a lot of fun.

I managed to get my hands on a wand of wonder for cheap and stole myself a deck of many things.....

I loved that chaos ... it pretty much ended the campaign and I am not too sure that the other party members appreciated me getting my hands on those but hell if I didn't have a lot of fun!

It is not a core class but the most fun I had with was a cavalier.
We had very good DM and a group of 4 characters. All were elven and they were brothers.
It was 20 years ago. I really miss that group and those days.
