[QUOTE="DeviousQuail, post: 8945878, member: 7025431"] I'm in-between Middle and Modern. Old School does some things well, but its not my favorite. Since others are posting their alternatives... [SPOILER="The Devious Quail Method"] This assumes the six Ability Scores of D&D and the 5e static AC vs variable saves. Deflection: Str or Dex + Armor (most attacks with melee or ranged weapons, the only static one, call it AC, Block, Parry, or whatever you want) Fortitude: Str or Con + d20 (resist poisons, push and pull, crushing, falls) Reflex: Dex or Int + d20 (avoid AoEs or particularly quick attacks like Lightning Bolt) Will: Wis or Cha + d20 (mostly fear, charm, command, and things like that) Mind: Int or Wis + d20 (thwart illusions and psychic attacks) Death: Con or Cha + d20 (prevent dying when dropping to 0 HP and some nasty necrotic spells and abilities, at high levels you realistically only fail 0 HP death saves by taking damage) All of these also add proficiency except Deflection unless you want to redo the armor table.
