If you had started with 20 you would get 18. If you find a +2 Sword, it improves your THAC0 by 2, which is actually a decrease in the overall THAC0 number. Why is this distinction important? Some stats are improved by decreasing their number, THAC0 for instance. Any + modifier improves a stat, any - modifier degrades a stat. +,- = Throughout AD&D there are modifiers in both the positive and negative directions. If you find a weapon that deals out 3d6 worth of Damage, then that means the weapon uses 3 six sided dice for a Damage Range of 3 to 18. The most recognized form of dice is the "D6" or the six sided die. Article ¿: Basic Concepts - Dice = Everyone knows what dice are.

So the purpose of this document is to explain these concepts to people who aren't familiar with the AD&D ruleset. What is THAC0? What is AC? How does magic work? Since I've done so many different AD&D games, I didn't want to duplicate information in each one, and so I have created this file. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ AD&D Rules FAQ for every CRPG based on the 2nd Edition AD&D ruleset: Baldur's Gate Gateway to the Savage Frontier Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn Hillsfar Champions of Krynn Icewind Dale Curse of the Azure Bonds Menzoberranzen Dark Queen of Krynn Planescape: Torment Death Knights of Krynn Pool of Radiance Descent to Undermountain Pools of Darkness Dungeon Hack Secret of the Silver Blades Eye of the Beholder Treasures of the Savage Frontier Eye of the Beholder 2 Warriors of the Eternal Sun (Genesis) Eye of the Beholder 3 _ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ SeptemVersion 4.3 Written by: Dan Simpson Email: Notes - You will find the most up to date version of this FAQ at: Having written a number of FAQs for AD&D games (Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment), I often get questions on the basics of the ruleset.
