[QUOTE="Numion, post: 2545906, member: 124"] In the first BD&D game I played in the DM thought that the thiefs wall climbing allowed for walking on walls and ceilings. Kinda like spidey, so the thief used to move on the ceiling and strike people from the above so they couldn't hit him back. In AD&D we had a lot of mixups due to our lacking english skills. One DM was convinced that the english sword "staff" is a mace in finnish, since in that one picture in 1e AD&D a staff has a bulging end (but IIRC it only looks that way because of perspective .. the staff is pointed at the viewer, so the end looks bigger, or whatever). BD&D was translated to finnish, but the first DM had a naturally unclear voice, so I kept wondering what my "glove class" has to do with people hitting me ;) ("glove-class" = hanskaluokka, "armor class" = haarniskaluokka", so glove-class and armor class sounded pretty similar in finnish coming from that dude).
