[QUOTE="Dessert Nomad, post: 7529404, member: 6976536"] I literally didn't agree with you. I'd quote, but anyone who thinks I did do this can scroll up and read that I pointedly stated the opposite of your claim that the only difference was when dealing with an AC of 1 or better. I think the problem is that you've forgotten that 'better' is 'lower' in 1st edition, and are RANTING IN ALL CAPS because you're thinking 'lower' is 'worse' "AC 0 or higher" is not Red Dragon territory, it's 'more than 90% of the monster manual' territory. An unarmored human with no dex modifier is AC10, that's higher than 0. So is a Purple Worm, with AC6 (6 higher than 0) which is the same as a standard Orc, or indeed anyone wearing studded leather and shield. I don't know if you're trolling or if you genuinely forgot that higher armor is worse in 1st and 2nd edition AD&D, but the phrase 'ACs... are miserably low in AD&D' doesn't make sense, as lower AC = better AC.
