    Basic D&D
    Magic-User/Elf: Fireball!  All mobs grovel before me or perish!
    Fighter:  It thought you said that at level 3 with phantasmal force.
    Magic-User: Oh yeah, I guess I did.  What are you complaining for you XP leach?  Maybe you can dodge a fireball, shall we find out?

    1st/2nd edition AD&D
    DM: Fireball!

    3.x edition
    Wizard:  What?  They so nerfed fireball.  This sucks.  This so sucks.  Dammit I’m going to play a cleric.
    Cleric:  What?  They so nerfed hold person.  This so sucks.  Dammit I’m going to play a wizard.
    Fighter:  Whoa, iterative attacks at level 6.  This rocks!  Suck it you spell casting sissies, I’m going to kick your butts!

    4th edition.
    Wizard: WFT?  Where’s fireball?  This sucks, I’m playing 3rd edition.
    Fighter:  More powers?  Whoa, I’m not sure I can handle this.  Just gimme something to bash.
    Rogue:  Where are my skill charts.  I miss the old skill charts.  Nothing left for me to copy anymore.

      I don’t know why I’m even bothering to mention this, but Wizard’s in 4e get Fireball at 5th level. As per the usual.

      Apparently Wyatt, the bozo in charge of these articles doesn’t really know a whole lot about D&D except for what he/she gets outta 3.5.
      Here’s a bit of a heads up for the author - you’re making yourself look ridiculous to those of us who actually know how each and every system operates. Opinions are one thing, but the articles,”…Thru The Ages”, are majorly flawed in many areas of the game thus far, which, to some of the readers here, makes us wonder what hat some of the information was pulled out of?…

      FYI - I’ve been playing D&D since 1980. The articles reflect my experience. I’ve played with dozens of groups around the country and know the game (all versions) inside and out. If you can’t take a little levity with your game then this is definitely the wrong place to be. All editions of D&D have some great attributes and all of them have some areas lacking. On the whole each edition plays differently than the others and that is the simple message.
