Best D&D Editions?

[Killington]

Which edition do you prefer? Personally, I find 3.75 the best, and 4th being the absolute worst, due to its ruination of my life and all things good in this world.

  I was hoping for a lively discussion about the merits of the various editions, mostly so I can spew hatred for 4th edition.

[Odysseus]

I play the 4th Edition. It's the only one I can afford. It's not as good as other Editions, but it's ok.

[Killington]

On my phone away from home at the moment, but quickly off the top of my head 4th ruined 2-weapon fighting, multiclassing, turned all fighters into swordsages, added dumb healing surges, basically made all the classes MMO classes with the daily and encounter and at will powers, ruined the interesting race dragonborn. I'll make a more complete list when I get home.

Also the Elf Ranger class was completely removed as much as I know.

[Odysseus]

Ranger is still in the 4th Edition, but there never was an "elf ranger" class.

There was on 3.5, if you wanted to be elf you had few options: Druid, Ranger, Fighter, Mage.

Woah woah woah, no. There were no class/restrictions in 3.5, except for prestige classes like Dwarven Defender.

You could be only one class though, you could not be like Ranger and Druid in the same time, like I was a Ranger and I had a few tracking spells, and the druid in our team had a staff and a lot of spells, no swords or bows like Rangers.

Yeah that's what i was trying to say. Any race can be any class. Besides, you can still be an "Elf Ranger" in the 4th Edition because it has elves and rangers.

Edit: What you're trying to say doesn't make any sense Doctor Warband. Elves can play any class they want, and any race can be a ranger

[DoctorWarband]

It sucked though >:

[Odysseus]

There were no class restrictions though.

[DoctorWarband]

Yup.

No, you can be more than one class in 3.5. You could, in fact, be a Ranger and a Druid at the same time.
