Long AD&D tangent
For the perplexed; 1-2e had AC opposite from now. Lower was better, so a PC might be AC 10 to 2 (then they introduced armors with even better AC). Monsters had arbitrary AC - the system didn’t really reflect armor wearing monsters. AD&D was rooted in historical wargames, so there was a chart of weapon modifiers to reflect that f’rex a bec de corbin or a falchion hit plate armor differently EXCEPT not only did AC not reflect armor type (that could be Dex, magic, arbitrary)…

As usual having a meal here means waiting to put stuff in the oven to wait some more. There’s some other stuff I’m cranky about, here and I’m trying not to kvetch solidify online. I just want to get out and maybe whenever it is I get out of here I’ll get the froofiest latte.

Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
