> > Is there some reason why I shouldn't set any of the THAC0 values to "0"? Yes there is. The lower the thaco value, the better it is to hit a mob. 0 is the lowest there is. This means, when a die is rolled (d20) anything UNDER your thaco value is considered a MISS [for armour class of zero, that is], so if you have a thaco of 15, then it means you require a 15-20 on a d20 roll to hit a mob with ac of 0. remember, though, that newbies have HIGH (bad) thaco (ie. level 1 is around thaco 19), but then again, the mobs they are trying to kill have crap armour, so it all balances out. This ensures that level 1 newbies don't go and kill a dragon or whatever at level 1. It's also realistic - with battle and adventuring experience, the new *character* will soon grow in knowledge and combat prowess .. etc etc etc. .. i think you get the drift. jussy +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
