Please, please, please, please make my save vs. dragon breath.  Yes!  What, I still die.  You suck!  This game sucks!  I hate you all!  Grumbles and rolls new character sheet.

3.x edition
Fortunately I min/maxed against this very possibility.  One hit, in the right place should do the trick.  What, you gave him class levels?  Prestige classes?  You bastard?  Fort save?  What?  Oh this roll had better be a 20.  Dammit, I thought one hit kills were done with in 3rd edition.  You suck!  This game sucks!  I hate you all!  Grumbles and rolls new character sheet.

4th edition.
Three hours of intense mini combat later.  I hate you all!  This game sucks!  You cheated!  You can’t put a trap, okay seven traps, in the middle of the battlefield that only the dragon knows about.  What were you thinking?  Aaargh, I thought they did away with party wipe in this edition!  Grumbles and opens character creator.

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!

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!

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.

Basic D&D
Cleric:  Woot!  I’m level 3 already.  Rolls d6 and copies in new attack and save numbers.
Magic User: Finally level 2.  Now I can cast sleep twice a day!  Rolls d4 and curses the dice.
Fighter/Dwarf: Level 2 , cool.  Better attacks and more HP. Rolls d8.
Halfling:  What, only a stupid d6 for HP?  What kind of a fighter is this?  You guys told me a Halfling was good.  You bastards!
Thief:  Level 3, cool.  You know it does get kind of tedious re-copying these skill charts every level.  Anybody else have to do this?
Elf:  Leveling up?  I think I need another 1000 xp for level 2.  Don’t worry though, I’ll catch up with you guys.

1st/2nd edition AD&D
Human characters:  Wootz, levels.  I love levels.  Roll HP and copy down new saves and attack values.  Make a note of special ability.  Oh wait, I have to re-figure my THAC0, hey DM can you do this for me?
Multiclass demi-humans:  We’ll catch up with you in another 2000XP, but thanks for the thought.

3.x edition
Aha!  All proceeds by my master plan. But wait, somebody released a new splat book.  Whoah that prestige class looks cool.  Okay, I can still get it I just have to re-think my feat progression a little.  If I take a level of sorc I can get there, but bard will give me bardic knowledge.  Wait?  All that for one lousy ability?  Oh why didn’t I just start with levels of fighter.  Rolls HP, grumbles and places skill points carefully.

4th edition.
Wohoo a new utility power!  What no rolling HP, I want to use my dice.  Dammit I didn’t fork out $20.00 on these new custom dice for nothing.  Let me roll my freakin dice already!  What?  I have to recalculate every number on my character sheet?  Oh man this is going to take a few minutes.
