Message: [QUOTE="Strategist, post: 62809, member: 767"] I recall playing both original Dungeons and Dragons and Advanced Dungeon and Dragons, 2nd edition, as a youngin in 1995. As far as I can remember, the difference was that AD&D expanded a lot of the rules, separated races from classes, and added the paladin, ranger, druid and bard class and the half-elf and gnome race. Original D&D pretty much had the same combat rules, THACO, armor class, all that jazz, but the Elf, Halfling and Dwarf were classes and races didn't exist as a separate entity. They also didn't go into high level stuff in detail, while advanced D&D spelled out in detail advanced abilities for high class characters, acquiring henchmen, building a class specific fortress, and role playing details. Also, I believe that alignment was introduced in Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Oh and an early version of skills was added in AD&D but they didn't become fully fleshed out until 3rd edition. [/QUOTE]
