I just use some generic ones. I never liked the "superhero" (Gary ran out of synonyms for 'awesome fighter guy'), so I'm okay with the change to Fighter. They needed to do something different, though, for 'cleric', especially if the 'cleric' was going to have no abilities and suck worse against undead than the new 'rogue'. A simple solution would have the crappy 'cleric' be a human fighter and the new Fighter/Superhero be a Dwarf, cuz everyone knows that Dwarves make better fighters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-44899338449708897172013-05-19T07:15:12.478-07:002013-05-19T07:15:12.478-07:00Eh, never bought any products from Wizards of the ...Eh, never bought any products from Wizards of the Coast and likely never will. Unlike many "OSR" folk, I have no axe to grind with them. Having quit D&D around 1992, I never knew TSR was out of business or heard of WotC until recently. I didn't even know there were 4+ editions of AD&D! But when I finally got back into RPGing it was just to play classic games I already own like WEG 1st edition Star Wars, FASA Trek, James Bond, V&V, and the like. I saw the new D&D and wasn't impressed and since I still have the original, why bother?Doc Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783244633195233970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-69521943101706294072013-05-18T22:50:31.305-07:002013-05-18T22:50:31.305-07:00@ Rachel:
