    tbh i don't know what we expected in a war like that

    any war involving rebels, revolutionaries, fundies or gurillas you can usually rely on some blood curdling shit going on even if it isn't reported in the news

    but how else was he going to gain his courage?

    Honestly shit like this is obnoxious but after a dude threatened to follow me home and rape me to death because I rolled a six and got to repeat 'stomp 'em gork' in warhammer fantasy battle

    It's all kind of laughable in comparison

    People bitch about 3rd Ed now, but when it came out it blew the minds of those of us who had played 2nd for a while. Intuitive math instead of Thac0? No class / race combo limitations? What is this madness? Our GM didn't like it though. He'd already bought a library of splat books and wanted to stick with 2nd Ed.

    What the fuck is Thac0?

    To Hit Armor Class 0

    Basically, in old DnD armor class went down instead of up, which was super counter-intuitive. If you had a thac0 of 20 and your opponent had a 0 AC, you'd need to roll a 20 to hit them. If they had an AC of 5, you'd need to roll a 15.

    In third edition that stat was replaced with to hit modifiers, which made way more sense, and armor class went up instead of down, so you'd just roll, add your modifiers and if you beat their armor class you hit.

    not so much D&D to AD&D.

    even 1st to 2nd edition was mostly seamless, with only a few beardy necks being obstinate.

    3rd edition created the first major divide I saw. since then, it has happened with every edition.

    Thaco is "to hit armour class 0"

    Armour class is added to your attack roll, and if the total is your thaco or higher you hit.

    That's why negative armour class is powerful.

    Armour making you harder to hit makes more sense than it absorbing damage.

    Armour deflects and turns aside attacks. Usually something that penetrates your armour is a killing blow anyway. When it successfully protects you, it does so by making your enemy's attack fail to strike properly.

    Realism and DnD don't really go together.

    I ran a 4E game where we had a shitload of people and 2 DMs and we had a split party situation that we designed and ran separately to playtest, culminating in a massive encounter combining both DMs and parties. The dragon BBEG was almost taken out, and he was set to flee when his health was low. He got away, and that was the end of our one shot. Ho boy the party didn't like that shit.

    the easiest way to think about thaco is that you want to have a low number there to counteract whatever the AC of your target happens to be.

    If you have a THACO of 10, and you are going against someone with an AC of -2 (Platemail +5), then you will need a 12 on the roll, after all bonuses, to hit them.

    10 - (-2) = 12
