Then last week, I read an interview with a 2E designer stating they wish they had lowered the THAC0s by 4.so, I thought about using d30's myself. As far as I can figure, it increases the hit probability by 20-30% or so. An AC 5(or 15 for you kids) gets hit on d20 30% of the time. On d30, it's more like 50/50.  But, for AC 0, hit 5% of the time on d20, the d30 will hit closer to 35%. I'm not a math wiz, so maybe I'm off here. But it looks like a good way to increase hits, at least for 1E/2E, but the tougher AC's lose a little of their effectiveness relative to the lighter armors. Anyone use d30 attacks? What do you think of it? It's a bit sloppy, does some funny things to AC, but overall seems a good way to keep combats , err, rolling along. Maybe I should just get some larger d20's; honestly part of the appeal is simply tactile. Although I know no one at ENworld would do such a thing, larger dice are also better for hurling at other gamers, especially 4E enthusiasts.</blockquote>
