It is even better to keep a separate tally of HP totals by class and then average them. If you have con 17, when you go up a fighter level, you add d10+3 to the fighter tally, when you go up as a M-U, you add d4+2 to the M-U's tally. Your actual total is the average of the two separate sums.

I think that, as is the case with many rules seen in "early" D&D, level limits can make (at least some) sense in the context of the idea of each player running a "stable" of characters.

Even in a game as tightly edited as 1e, a few contradictions are bound to slip by...

DDI, the 4e version, was purely subscription-based. You couldn't buy anything. When it shut down, you could not subscribe anymore and lost access to the platform.

It's in the 1e DMG. If you are reduced exactly to 0 HP, you do not die, but are unconscious and lose 1 HP per round until you reach -10. Optionally, the range which makes a character unconscious, can be extend to -3.

Yesterday, one of the players asked how does the Pillar spell work. We discussed it somewhat at length, but we remained a bit puzzled. Here's the text of the spell: The spell raises a pillar, three meters high and one meter wide, from the ground or a stone floor. If someone is standing in that...

Are they going to simply reprint the two already published books or were they some sort of Zeroth Edition? (If we can half editions, we can also have zeroth editions, IMO...)

Shrugs. I was calling it 2024, because it seemed to me (erroneously as it turns out) that it was the most widespread moniker. 5.5 also works for me. Margaret or Jacob would also have been fine... i.e. the label is not very important, as long as it is widely understood. Back in the 80's, AFAIK...

I'm no fan of the Siege Engine, but evidently the authors like it a lot. There also seem to be enough players who like it, since C&C is still pumping out revisions and new books.

Good arguments. I just used those four types because I modified a table that was already made by someone else. True and I applaud the work you are sharing here. Back when I was using the modifiers, I just assigned a type on the fly or, in some cases, applied no modifiers against some monsters.

A creature can be at 0 HP, but stable. In that case, they can't benefit from a rest, but must first receive healing or wait 1d4 hours and recover automatically 1 HP.

I've used for a while weapon-vs-AC, but with heavy modifications. The tables as presented, do not make much sense to me. "Base" AC 3 could be, for example, splint mail + shield, or plate mail. If you go into such detail, while have the same modifiers for different armors? I followed the lead of...

With a little patience, you can make a functional sheet in Google Drive and then share it online.

It seems that there is no longer a link to the Italian 2014 PHB through the sources page. I was still able to find it through a Google search.

Well, I knew a guy who claimed to have spent a lot of time in Bielefeld. This explains a lot. In Italy we have a whole (albeit small) region that does not exist: Molise.
