Replies: 55

<t>I think THAC0 is less intuitive than a BtH is and this goes a step further when we consider how Acs worked with both systems, mainly people get an easier time seeing a target number and rolling to beat it (adding bonuses) then they have by having a base number, subtract or add a number due to a d...

<t>I actually think BtH is fairly easy on newbies and the Ac system C&C uses is as well, Thac0 and AD&D AC require a bit more thought than C&C requires, so newbies will often wonder why the hell lower is better for AC, how come I want a -10 but not a 10 on Ac and so on.<br/> <br/> Really...

<t>See, I think it would certainly not be as bad, since I have kind of gone overboard, but it would certainly make monsters a lot harder to remember, and when it comes down to the general groupings of monsters, you need not have overly complex rules for them, for they will not be around longer than ...
