The Old Strength System (Question)

[Thunt]

Can someone help me out here? Did the old 2E system use a decimal to split up the strangth score or a forward slash? In other words, which was correct...

STR 18.25

or

STR 18/25

Thanks.

The slash (i.e, 18/25).

I miss fighters with 18/00 Strength.

And that's all I miss.

I thought that it was with parentheses.

I thought that it was with parentheses.

That got me doubting my certitude, so I checked my 2E Player's Handbook. It's the slash.

It was probably just something that I did then...

If you ever played any of the old "Gold Box" CRPG's based on 1st/2nd ed, they used parenthesis, could be where you've seen it.

Some of the character sheets in 2E had parenthesis.

Yeah, but it seemed that 1 in 10 fighters with an 18 strength had an 18/00 strength.

Yeah, but it seemed that 1 in 10 fighters with an 18 strength had an 18/00 strength.

... and far more than 1 in 10 fighters had an 18 strength.
