Anyone else have a hard time adjusting to Str, Dex, Con

Where is that from? It has a big entry for honor which I think is only from Oriental Adventures. It also has CMS which corresponds to Comeliness which were in Unearthed Arcana and then later in OA, but which I normally saw abbreviated to COM.

Only OA? No, but it did come after OA and incorporated spaces for it. It was my absolutely favorite AD&D character sheet product. It was followed up by the butt-ugly green ones.

Ja, the orange one was the official 1E AD&D player character record sheets pack, which post-dated OA and UA and so included sections for stuff from those books. The green/cyan sheets came from the 2E pack. I always really liked both of them. I think I still have a few of each hoarded away with my AD&D stuff.

I am much more troubled by the abbreviation CHR for Charisma.

Pff. Just use the Grecian initial and you can go with single digit abbreviations!

Not the worst abbreviation I've ever seen. I think it was Stormbringer that abbreviated Willpower to "POW".

POW is Power - the ability for the character to wield (and resist) magic. It's common to the BRP games like Call of Cthulhu, Runequest, and Stormbringer. I don't believe it ever measured Willpower by that terminology.

Who wants to break the news to them about what happened with THAC0?

Shhhh, we don't talk about THAC0.

Cue Encanto music...

Oh, I just assumed that's what it meant at the time. Well then, that isn't so silly at all, though it still felt weird at the time to say "I have a 17 POW!"

The correct old-school order is STY FYS STO SMI INT PSY KAR. I don't know what kind of weird game y'all were playing.
