[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5616036, member: 92305"] I've got a soft spot in my heart for 1E AD&D as well. I'd love to run a campaign using just those rules one day. Besides the nostalgia, I love all the little quirks. I love the armor vs. weapon type chart in the PHB. I love that 1st levle Rangers starts with 2d8 hit points. I love how weapon speed factors are treated in the game. I love what Gygax says about hit points, and that, at -1 to -3, the character could still be conscious. Be warned, though. I'm not sure anybody really knows how to run 1E AD&D combat by the book. It's a mess (hard to understand), and even today, flame wars rage about it is supposed to be done "by the book". Talk about flipping back and forth, looking up rules for different things that influence combat! You may want to check out the [COLOR=blue]Dragonsfoot[/COLOR] forum. Lots of people there who love 1E AD&D and can even help you along your journey to figure out 1E AD&D combat. Oh....and they'll know a good deal about OSRIC, too. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
