[QUOTE="pming, post: 8109704, member: 45197"] Hiya! Sure you could. "Roll your attack, add opponents AC; if it's 20+, you hit". Easy. "Dark Dungeons RPG" (a BECMI/RC clone) does this. Of course, the only bugaboo to this is the "6 20's then 21" on the Attack Matrix (e.g., the progression went "...17, 18, 19, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 21, 22...". Then again, not too hard for the DM to keep track of if you needed that natural 20 or not by simply having Players say "My attack is...17" and then the DM just adds the AC of the creature in his head and says "You strike the ogre solidly. Roll damage", or "You miss the demon by a long shot". Personally, I would tell the Players the AC of most monsters that are 'common' (goblins, orcs, ogres, giant rats, zombies, etc), and I'd tell them of others if someone hit the AC 'exactly' (e.g. the Player rolls 17, the monsters AC is 3; 17 + 3 = 20, exactly; "You hit. They are AC 3"). Then I don't have to deal with it for the rest of the fight. ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
