Mage Vs. Wizard & Thief Vs. Rogue

[anvi]

I always pick mage types because magic is usually fun and melee characters are usually boring and don't get enough abilities. But if you only get to pick one character it's probably not that great of a game anyway.

Fighter: Same as thief but 7' long.

 

[Darkozric]

Fighter: Same af thief but 7' long.

A fighter at least can take dmg for the rest of the party, a thief will fade like a stealthy fart.

Fighter: Same as thief but dumb as bricks.

Were the kits implemented in any video games that used 2nd Edition D&D?

BG2.

Were the kits implemented in any video games that used 2nd Edition D&D?

BG2 Wild mage, not from this book but from tome of magic.

I see. Were all of them implemented in BG2? or only Wild Mage? and how did they define the difference between "Wild Mage" and "Mage"? Was it basically a druid?

A Paladin and a Barbarian walk into a bar...

With a Priest or a Cleric?

No, I believe the only wizard kits are wild mage and specialist mage.

Wild mage gave a chance for a wild surge for every memorized spell cast. A wild surge could have many different outcomes, some beneficial, some not. There are 100 effects it could potentially have.

Every Complete splatbook for AD&D2 had dozens of kits, and there were like 20 of those, so, no chance.

BG2 had about 3-4 kits per class.

Speaking of AD&D2E, were there any games that actually used the original 1974 D&D rules? and how many games used the first AD&D? I would imagine none used the basic and not many used the first AD&D, but I am curious about the exact numbers.

The first CRPG licensed for any D&D/AD&D rules was Pool of Radiance, released in 1988, the year before TSR released AD&D 2nd edition, so it naturally relied on AD&D 1st edition rules. Even though the first game in the Krynn/Dragonlance trilogy was released in 1990, this relied on the Dragonlance hardcover setting/rulebook that had been released in 1987 for 1st edition AD&D. There were 9 games total in the Gold Box series, not counting Unlimited Adventures, Neverwinter Nights, or the two Buck Rogers games (which obviously are not D&D/AD&D).

SSI had third-party developers create console games, Order of the Griffon (PCEngine/Turbografx-16) and Warriors of the Eternal Sun (Sega Megadrive/Genesis), which took place in the Known World / Mystara campaign setting associated with B/X and BECMI D&D and therefore utilized BECMI D&D rules.

D&D Stronghold: Kingdom Simulator uses BECMI rules for building a kingdom. You can get it on Steam or GOG.

Odin was mocked by Loki for using magic.

Loki did nothing wrong here.

Oden also drank cum for """magical powers""" and hung himself. Also, there was an episode where he was a tranny.
