    AD&D 1E Determining Mercenary/Hireling HPs for Castle Guard and Ship crew.

    I re-read the Unearthed Arcana on Cavaliers. I guess they r D12 up to 1st Level but D10 thereafter. It is confusing bc it says D12 under the Cavalier Die Rolls but if you go back a page or 2 for all Classes Die Rolls it says D10 for Cavaliers. A lot of confusion from the Unearthed Arcana on such...

    AD&D 1E What was the reason for Demihuman level and class limits in AD&D?

    I am confused about something I found in the Unearthed Arcana p9 that Elven Thieves r Unlimited in Level? I have another question. Does Magic Armor give Saving Throw bonuses as well as AC? If so, which Saving Throws does this bonus be given to? Thanks in Advanc, David

    AD&D 1E Determining Mercenary/Hireling HPs for Castle Guard and Ship crew.

    I am building the castle for my Arch Duke and need to have the wall guard for security. I guess I will use the Fighter D10 x Lvl and Cavalier D12 x Lvl. I am wondering if Constitution scores needed to be added? Thanks in Advance, David

    AD&D 1E Multi class issue for original D&D to 2nd ed question.

    Yeah, I have some BECMI supplements, Gazeteers, Rules Cyclopedia, but never got the Boxed sets for it. I do not have anything from the 1974 timeframe because I did start playing till the early 80s.

    AD&D 1E Multi class issue for original D&D to 2nd ed question.

    WOW! A wealth of knowledge. Yeah I just looked at the Boxed rule sets and it says copyright 1974, 1977, 1978, and 1981 by Moldvay and Cook. The Basic and Expert Sets were the first things we bought as teenagers. I did not know it was that late. I thought it was 1977. I got all 3 Gazeteers for...

    AD&D 1E Multi class issue for original D&D to 2nd ed question.

    It was weird for me in the 80s when I got the PHB 1ed where they have the added alignments because the D&D rules only had 3 (Good, Neutral, and Evil) A lot of things changed when that PHB, DMG, and Unearthed Arcana came out. Then 2nd ed got even worse in my opinion so I try to stick to the 1ed...

    AD&D 1E Multi class issue for original D&D to 2nd ed question.

    From 1977, tHe Boxed sets; Basic, Expert, Advanced D&D, is not part of 0D&D? The Rules Cyclopedia was around that timeframe as well. Within the Box sets the only world that was around at that time was a world called The Known World. Mystara later on became that world. I had a friend in college...

    I am sorry u r correct it was 1e PHB Pg 15 that I found the CHARACTER RACE TABLE 3 Ability Score Min and Max on. I was fixing the level requirements in the 2e DMG using the Optional table there in the blue box, which had the ability score PRs. My Bad!
