For example, a +2 to Str is not the same as in AD&D since there´s not a jump at all from str 17 to str 19, but of course, a high Str modifies to hit and damage rolls. Also, spell generally do what the did, but the exact mechanics may also change; for example, Sleep has a saving throw now." That´s enough to start things.For the first sessions, I kept the more complicated details of movement and AoO to myself, informing them of how they worked when applicable. For example, when a wizard started casting a spell in a threatened area, I explained briefly that concentrating and weaving your hands when someone is trying to hit you is a Bad Idea, and explained the alternatives (step back, Concentration roll...). I also designed encounters to teach them the use of feats. I remember one of them being a fight against some animated armors: since they were made of steel, they had a high hardness, but very low AC. Perfect to practice Power Attack.</blockquote>
