Hard Copy Rules (out of date?)

[Solomoriah]

I still use 2nd Edition at my table. My players all have copies, so it's easier to use my own 2nd Edition than to switch to 3rd. Amazing how lazy I am, isn't it?

I received my 2 books form Amazon to day and the Core set was newest R100 set. But...

I was not expecting the printing was going to be that nice! Double sided, bound, with a beautiful glossy color cover! What a great product... Leaving a 5 STAR review for both books now.

Thanks guys for the help

Guyon, my friend, thank you very much for the kind words. I must ask one question, though... what do you mean by "double sided?"

Well if Ii went to the local copy store to print the pdf they would have printed the pages (unbound) and just single sided. Like a normal copy machine. Strangely to have the copy store print double sided pages it would have cost even more due the extra effort! All with no binding and no color cover.

Your book was printed on both sides of the page, color cover, and bound! Woo Woo..

I left five star reviews on both books bought as Robert F. Frydryck.
Many thanks for bringing back what D&D used to be before it got so complicated that it lost the fun.

To be fair, anyone can sell books like ours using Print on Demand services, at very little expense. None, if you can get your artwork donated (thanks guys!)

You are welcome, and thanks for the reviews!

I'm still using my second edition book. It has caused some minor problems especially when the spell descriptions where changed but oh well

[Solomoriah]

I don't recall many spell changes, black1blade... what troubled you?

[SerGavin]

from this (2nd edition):
This spell creates the visual illusion of an object, creature,
or force, as visualized by the caster, up to a maximum size
of 20'x20'x20'. The illusion does not create sound, smell,
texture, or temperature. The caster can move the image
within the limits of the size of the effect. The image
persists so long as the caster concentrates upon it.

If used to create the illusion of one or more creatures, they
will have an Armor Class of 11 and will disappear if hit in
combat. If used to simulate an attack spell, a successful
save vs. Spells will allow victims to avoid all damage.
Damage done by monsters, spells, etc. simulated by this
spell is not real; those “killed” or otherwise apparently
disabled will wake up uninjured (at least from this spell)
after 2d8 rounds. The illusory damage done will be
equivalent to the normal damage for any attack form
simulated.

to this (3rd edition):

This spell creates the visual illusion of an object, creature
(or small group of creatures), or other effect, as visualized
by the caster up to a maximum size of 20'x20'x20'. The
illusion does not create sound, smell, texture, or
temperature. The caster can animate the image within the
limits of the area of effect. The image persists so long as
the caster concentrates upon it.

If used to create the illusion of one or more creatures, they
will have an Armor Class of 11 and will disappear if hit in
combat. Damage done by monsters, spells, etc. simulated
by this spell is not real; those “killed” or otherwise
apparently disabled will wake up uninjured (at least from
this spell) after 2d8 rounds. The illusory damage done will
be equivalent to the normal damage for any attack form
simulated.

Attempting to animate more creatures than the caster's
level grants viewing creatures with at least average
Intelligence an immediate save vs. Spells to recognize the
creatures as illusions; those making the save will be
unaffected by any actions taken by the illusions from that
point on. A similar save may be granted by the GM any
time he or she feels the illusion is likely to be seen through,
especially if the player describes an illusion which seems
improbable or otherwise poorly conceived.

I was reading out of the 3rd Edition one whereas black1blade was reading out of 2nd edition during a game.
