SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Is RPG Optimization Psychosis?

Chris24601 do yourself a favor and walk away. No matter what you say you are in the wrong. Even if Pat is proven wrong it's never him it's everyone else.

It's not worth the time or energy and for what to be told your wrong all the time. Focus on something more productive as well as similar posters.
Says the poster who has spend the entire OD&D thread making unfounded attacks on OD&D players.

Come on, Pat that is just not true - some attacks were not unfounded, some were shots of opportunity.

It would matter for to hit chances if monsters regularly had AC that you can only hit on an 18 or 19, but that doesn't happen.  If every monster was like that then you can be sure that players would start doing everything they could to get that +1.

Perhaps so, but I think in that situation my players would start doing everything they could to avoid combat first and foremost. Gaining some some small bit of advantage for a situation that is likely suicidal in either case would definitely be secondary for a smart player.

I broke out B/X and started running it again about 9 months ago.  None of the players had played it in years.  When they had to retreat from some kobolds, the players started looking at each other and were like 'Oh shit, I forgot this had AOO."   ;D
