[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 1120816, member: 114"] 9) Percentage strength was introduced in Greyhawk, the first of the D&D supplements. On page 7. Halfway down the page (I've got it open and looking at it now). Percentage abilities for other attributes was never introduced in any of the supplements (although everyone and their dog must have made up house rules for it) 10) There was no consistency between different stats and the amount of bonus gained. In Greyhawk CON gave +1 at 15-16, +2 at 17, +3 at 18. Fighters (only) gained +1 AC per point of dex over 14. Str gave +1 hit at 13-15, +1 hit and damage at 16, +2 hit and damage at 17, +2 hit and +3 damage at 18 Do you want to know anything about the lethal and abortive attempt to introduce "hit locations" in Blackmoor? Did you know that when Paladins were introduced, one of their powers was that "Paladins of 8th level and above dispel evil (spells, undead, evil enchanted monsters and the like) simply by ordering it hence". "Begone you naughty creatures" indeed! Did you know that the 9th level version of Summon Monster could produce one of these for you: Stone Golem Iron Golem Umber Hulk Hell Hounds Displacer Beast Pack Hydra with 10 fire breathing heads Lich (20th level magic user) :eek: I know which one *I* would have been summoning!
