We've been doing AD&D for a while now, and his knowledge of B/X isn't good enough to just flip the switches, so he has some accidental carry-overs.<br /><br />Not a big deal.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-86405228839501939102021-10-19T22:08:19.050-07:002021-10-19T22:08:19.050-07:00Lulu offers a hard cover option; but it's do i...Lulu offers a hard cover option; but it's do it yourself unless you want to pay a lot of money.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-11852044206101491112021-10-19T19:10:46.157-07:002021-10-19T19:10:46.157-07:00He could also do 2d6+6 for ability score rolls.

If the latter, he might consider allowing damage rolls for two-handed weapons and crossbows to be 2d6, pick the higher die (and add them together if it is doubles).cavalier973https://www.blogger.com/profile/16018249706585207161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-45498437369475411732021-10-19T11:27:48.854-07:002021-10-19T11:27:48.854-07:00A lot of places are dealing with supply shortages ...A lot of places are dealing with supply shortages and people shortages.
