Nope, it's perfectly relevant because that is literally how it plays. "What matters is how it plays. And it plays awful!" Ok, so now we've moved from "confusing maths" to it playing awful. So that's different from what you've said before, where it was "confusing maths". As shown, the maths is not confusing. Play preference and overall analysis of the game as a whole is different from describing THAC0 as "confusing maths". You aren't a fan of the system, that's fine, different strokes for different folks. But again, that is different from THAC0 being particularly difficult or obtuse.That is irrelevant. What matters is how it plays. And it plays awful! Every single time it trips people up! Yes, in principle it should be simple. But it is just down right unpleasant and illogical to work with. It goes against the way many of our brains are wired. They changed it with good reason.
"Every single time it trips people up" - No it doesn't, my 11 year olds in school manage it fine, funny how anecdotes aren't entirely useful... "Yes in principle it should be simple" Again, As demonstrated above - it is.
"Illogical to work with" There is a logic to it. Notice it's Armour CLASS, not armour value. First class is better than second class. That's why it started with Descending AC. There is a logic to it.
