The Complete Attack and Saing Thro! Table$' Antonio Eleuteri

This article introduces a hopefull' useful;/

(ae aid+ all attack and savin( thro& tables

of the A)4) (ae condensed onto one

pa(e. Man' )un(eon Masters do not find thetables in the )un(eon Masters Guide )MG/

to be ver' user6friendl'* the' are spread over

three pa(es# and these pa(es are not even

conti(uous# resultin( in anno'in( pa(e

flippin(. The )un(eon Masters Screen helps

alleviate the situation# but even there# the

tables are on different panels. -urtherore#

searchin( on the tables a' be tie6

consuin(# and a' disrupt the flo& of the

action.

So# is there a &a' to have all the inforation

all in one place The ans&er is 'es# but soe2t&eakin(3 of the inforation in the )MG is

reuired. Precisel'# the ke' to the

copression lies in the 2To Hit Aror Class 3

THAC/ nuber. A roll of ?d@# plus odifier#

plus tar(et Aror Class ust eual or e>ceed

the THAC for an attack to be successful. The

THAC can be easil' read at the crossin( of

the ro& correspondin( to AC and the

colun of character level on the attack

atrices.

So# at least in principle# this &ould (ive a

siple ean to replace the attack atrices.

nfortunatel'# and contrar' to &hat happens

in the second edition A)4)# the attack

atrices ): 7:T ipleent a linear

pro(ression of THACs. "n fact# an attack

score i.e. ?d@ roll plus odifiers/ of @

corresponds a ran(e of ACs. Thin(s are further

coplicated b' the fact that# in soe

instances# a penalt' on the attack scores

ust be taken into account# nael'+ level

huans and halflin(s# creatures &ith ?6? hit

die# lo&6level thieves and a(ic6users.

The 2trick3 is then to take into account all of

these factors. This can be easil' done b'

reportin(# as a function of level,hit die# not

onl' the THAC# but also therangeof ACs hit

&ith an attack score of @ &hich " call the

2@ hit ran(e3/. The Coplete Attack and

Savin( Thro& table sho&s precisel' this

inforation. "ts use is siple+ &hen attackin(#sipl' use the THAC echanics# &ithout

usin( the table at all and notin( that thieves#

a(ic6users etc. ust subtract ? fro their

attack scores/. 5hen an attack score of @ is

obtained# there is no need to copare to the

THAC# since b' sipl' lookin( at the 2@ hit

ran(e3 one (ets the ACs hit. 5hen the attack

score is lar(er than @# each point of e>cess

be'ond @ hits ? point of AC be'ond the 2@

hit ran(e3.

Eample+ A ?th level fi(hter has a THAC of

?@. "f he rolls an attack score of @ he hits ACs6N to 6?. Since 6? is the a>iu AC

possible# attack scores be'ond @ al&a's hit

6?.

$esides the condensed attack atrices# there

&as plent' of space to include the savin(

thro& atrices. Thus# these have been placed

to the ri(ht of the THAC and 2@ hit ran(e3

coluns# so that for each character class &e

have all the relevant inforation in one

place. "t should be noted that the

or(ani%ation of the tables has been re&orked#

since in soe cases in particular for the

Monk/ advanceent in THAC does not

correspond to advanceent in savin( thro&s.

-urtherore# the coluns of the savin( thro&s

are no& disposed in order of precedenceof

the save# fro left to ri(ht# so that if ore than

one cate(or' applies# the first fro the left
