I think the most logical interpretation of rolling for stats in an RPG is that they represent the range of characteristics that can be... -
Exactly. If you sum the modifiers of all six stats then it's impossible to get stuck with a sum less than zero (unless you actually...

Mannahnin replied to the thread Shadowdark Unless I am wrong.Theoretically if you rolled, say, a really bad CON and really high DEX, flipping it would just swap where the problem was. Either option...

Like.
If you're required to flip all of the scores, any good scores would become bad. I think it's probably more useful for people who really... -

A rare SFW Oglaf! (And done of my faves.)

Thanks for sharing, and I certainly don't feel derailed. If anything, this is what I used to love coming to ENWorld for and what sadly...

Mannahnin reacted to Willie the Duck's post in the thread AD&D 1E A Long Thread about the Weapon's vs. AC Table with Like.
Other than just the overall complexity*, the major issue I always had with the WvsAC chart was how it didn't interact well with critters...

Mannahnin reacted to Nikosandros's post in the thread AD&D 1E A Long Thread about the Weapon's vs. AC Table with Like.
Good arguments. I just used those four types because I modified a table that was already made by someone else. True and I applaud the...

Isn't that the opposite of my goal though? Tactics are a combination of weapons and terrain. You just removed weapons from the...

I have had that same thought. But if we assume the table captures some idea, moving that would just move numbers around elsewhere. The...

Some of Monster Manual I worked out as "to hit" tables applying the above assumptions. I may do more if people are interested and ask...

If you'd asked me circa 1990 I probably would have said that being more realistic was in itself a good thing, but I probably wouldn't...

Mannahnin reacted to jolt's post in the thread AD&D 1E A Long Thread about the Weapon's vs. AC Table with Like.
For the time when we used the table, we removed shields from the equation. We felt that the shield didn't change the "type" of armor at...

I've used for a while weapon-vs-AC, but with heavy modifications. The tables as presented, do not make much sense to me. "Base" AC 3...

Anyone still with me? :D Monster Manual 1 is a work in progress. Reading it has forced me to assess it more critically that I ever had...
