Sorry about that. Good luck! --SpectralTime (talk) 06:17, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- It's cool, really. I'm sorry I had to put a kibosh on your help, I really did appreciate the effort. I'm guessing you don't have your own copies of the Player's Option splats, huh? 116.250.104.193 06:59, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, but nope. Didn't start playing until the last days of 3.5. Just have a list of Baldur's Gate stuff. Don't suppose it's a difference between AD&D and 2e? I've always been... confused about the gap. It seems like there's three or four different "1e"s. --SpectralTime (talk) 07:06, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- From what little I know, Baldur's Gate actually came out towards the tail end of AD&D and the start of 3rd ed, so it actually backwards adapted a bunch of early 3rd ed stuff - I may be wrong, but as far as I can tell, there wasn't actually a proper Barbarian class until 3rd ed; there was a Complete Barbarian's Handbook in 1995 (vs. the 1989 Complete Fighter's Handbook), but it's more cultural/archetype stuff, kind of like the Complete Necromancer's Handbook. It's got new kits in it, but they're for Fighters and Clerics. Plus, well, a lot of the actual AD&D stuff wasn't very impressive, as you can tell by looking at what I've copied over so far; plus, I'm thinking you may be looking at the Enhanced Editions, which backwards adapt even more 3rd ed stuff like Blackguards. Honestly, I don't really know what difference there is, if any, between AD&D and 2e myself...116.250.104.193 08:50, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- The Barbarian is basically a fancy Fighter kit even in-game. And I don't think 3rd edition had come out yet, simply because there's a banter between two party members that boils down to jokes about how halflings used to be locked into being thieves and can now be fighters and clerics too, before the halfling (who wants to be a paladin) complains that "it's not like the gods are going to give us a third edition" or something. ...Circumstantial, at best, I know. Anyway, you're doing the Lord's work, son. Keep 'er up! --SpectralTime (talk) 09:35, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
