And d20s were slightly more available than the rest.<br><br>The reason ACs range from 2 to 9 is that, for a time, the way to roll to hit was roll two dice equal to or below target's AC. Magic bonus would increase the number needed to hit. e.g. A +2 weapon against AC 3 would require a 5 or lower to be rolled.Gratuitous Saxon Violencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17547073119195163253noreply@blogger.com
