I need context, and the description in the version of 2e I read...was weird. Been a while since I attempted to read it, and I think I may have gotten lost around figuring out what the Thac0 was or something. I started with 3e, and backtracking into 2e with the context that I knew probably screwed me up. Two, even though I suck at math, I have a tendency to think of equasions in algabraic form. Which is weird, but I have a better understanding of math if a. it is explained in algebraic terms and b. the context of usage. So 3.5 and 4e math I process very quickly, where 2e just seemed...weird. Contextually, 3e and 4e are very similar until you get to powers - and even then, Bo9S gave me a preview. And OoP was mostly a matter of someone trying to walk past within arm's reach or trying to cast a spell at point blank. Never quite got 3e/3.5's turn undead though. The book doesn't explain it very well, and in hindsight seems kinda sorta but not Thac0.</blockquote>
