[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 9599732, member: 6877472"] Also, thinking about it, the 2e Death Knight's AC is somewhat inexplicable as well. He's not stated as wearing magic armor, nor using a shield (in fact, some Death Knights are equipped with two-handed swords), but, regardless of the quality of his armor, he's got AC 0 and Full Plate by itself is AC 1. Not a huge deal, really (oh no, he has one better AC than full plate!- though he retains this AC even if his armor is damaged or piecemeal), but it goes to show this sort of "unexplained property" isn't anything new to the game. Also not stated is why every Death Knight owns a magic sword, but hey, at least that's lootable! To the Death Knight's credit, however, they actually have an ability score other than Intelligence- their 18(00) Strength! And while it's not spelled out, it's easy to see why they have 9, 10-sided Hit Dice- the maximum amount of Hit Dice for a Warrior class (Fighter/Ranger/Paladin). [/QUOTE]
