Hi Scott, What I mean is that when you consult the OD&D original (page 19 of Men and Magic) you look up the AC of the target and then the level of the

Hi all, ... The table comes out looking different, but how are the results different? I've been using S&W for 10 months now and I'm seeing the mechanic, in

Hi Paul, Yes I wrote the Mountain of Evermore and I'm glad you decided to choose it as part of your campaign. It's got to be one of the best dungeons I ever

Hi Paul, I'll check out the core rules then. It might be a typographical error in the whiteboxpdf that got overlooked. Thanks! I wouldn't worry about steering

... Just to be clear, OD&D is not, in this context at least, the 1981 BX rules, but rather the 1974 rules. That said, Mythmere had a much harder job than the

Ahh, it seems that you are, indeed, correct. I know that's how the core rules work but I took a closer look at White Box and it is different. I play core but

SNORKERS! I must have misread the part about the addition of the dice only applying to the Ascending Armor Class combat model. Thanks for the correction Paul.
