I never really understood people who complained about THAC0 and descending armor class; it was literally 2nd or maybe 3rd grade math. At worst.THAT SAID, adding positive numbers is just simpler and more intuitive than adding negative numbers, and certainly moreso than subtracting negative numbers. The ascending to-hit bonus and ascending armor class is, I agree, the best part of the 3.x era. I run Rules Cyclopedia D&D most of the time these days, and the only real change I make to it is translating the to-hit chart to a steady progress in of bonuses and the AC progression to positive modifiers.</blockquote>
