[QUOTE="AFGNCAAP, post: 1120020, member: 871"] :D Thanks for the quick replies, everyone! If you'll indulge me, here are a few more questions for ya: 9) I know AD&D had percentile Strength, but I did stumble across some old [I]Dragon[/I] mags were other 18 value stats also had percentile values. Was this a regular rule in original D&D that had been (mostly) dropped from AD&D (w/ the obvious exception of Strength), or was it a supplemental rule that was used & then dropped/modified for later use? 10) Speaking of stats, was original D&D like AD&D regarding stat bonuses (that is, receiving no bonuses to a stat unless it was 15-16 or higher)? Or was it more like the Rules Cyclopedia D&D, with 9-12 being average, 13-15 at +1, 16-17 at +2, and 18 at +3 (and a similar point spread for lower stats & penalties)? 11) I know AD&D had a full set of Nehwon character & deity stats in various editions of Deities & Demigods/Legends & Lore. Did original D&D have this info (or at least for some or any literary characters)? Was it in 1 of the 3 original books? A [I]Strategic Review[/I] or [I]Dragon[/I] article? And, a few questions about the Rules Cyclopedia-style D&D: 1) IIRC, paladins/knights/avengers and druids appeared in the Companion set D&D rules. Where did mystics originate? Also, were there any other classes that appeared in the rules expansions (Expert/Master/etc.)? IIRC, I think there was a Thug NPC class (sort of like the Assassin class) at least. 2) Were there any new classes/races that appeared in the D&D Gazetteers? Any variants of existing ones? 3) IIRC, the [I]Dragon[/I] magazine series of themed articles, "Voyage of the Princess Ark" provided "basic" D&D versions of the half-elf and bard premiered in these articles, right? Did any other "basic" D&D versions of AD&D races/classes appear (like rangers, gnomes, barbarians, etc.)? Once again, thanks for all the info! [/QUOTE]
