D&D 1E [For ORCUS] Convince me that I can "do 1E" with 4E

[Chocobot]

Hmm. Imagine 1e as Carrie Fisher. Imagine 2e as Gilbert Godfrey. Imagine 3e as a succubus that has assumed the appearance of Natalie Portman.

1e & 2e, in actual mechanics, are much more similar to each other than either is to 3e, in the same way that Carrie Fisher and Gilbert Godfrey are both biological humans. But if you're putting together a movie that needs a "young Carrie Fisher", the succubus is going to fit the role a lot better than Gilbert Godfrey.

2e eliminated barbarians, monks, assassins, half-orcs, demons, and devils. Guess what 3e brought back?

My guess will be "Nothing that 2e hadn't already brought back."

Did I get it right?

That seems like an odd request. None of us know enough about 4e to make that call yet.

We went through this already: Orcus made the claim, which is what made me start the thread.
