Hi /tg/I need help since I have never done it before. I want

Yes, use the HD of monsters and compare it to the THAC0 of an equivalent-level fighter.

>>46507653
Fighter and monsters seem to have a different THAC0 table. Also, does that means that an HD 1 monster has a THAC0 of 20? so monsters are inferior to PCs? (just making sure here)

>>46507734
First-level PCs have THAC0 20.

>>46507840
Yes but it gets modified by STR and DEX (depending on the type of attack) so that's why I am asking

Oh, I see what you're saying.

As far as I know, you just use the straight HD. I'm pretty sure that's an actual rule, but remember that AD&D is mostly just a collection of suggestions, so if you feel like dexmonkey monsters deserve a lower THAC0, go ahead and give them a bonus. If it seems to overpowered, go back to just the base HD rating.

*too overpowered

Goddamn I need to spray out my keyboard

Thank you. I will try using the suggested THAC0s and see how that goes

>>46508073
What's the module?

>>46508117
Temple of Elemental Evil, I wanted to run a classic for a group of newer players (all of them started with either 4e or 5e)

Well, if they survive, consider this one next.

I have a hardcopy of it. It's pretty neat. Basically a proto-Planescape.

>>46508311
That's awesome. I will get it now, thank you

>>46508568
No prob. I have scans and hardcopies of all the 1E Monster Manuals if you want any of them to supplement the game.

>>46508763
Well, I do have the 2e MM and I am using 2e so it makes it easier. Thank you

>>46508949
I just meant if there was a monster in the module that wasn't in 2E and you wanted more information about it.

Good luck though! Remember to let the players know that it's a brutal adventure. You might want to have them roll up a few extra characters.

And depending on how much cash they have, hirelings. Lots and lots of hirelings. Seriously. 0-lvl fighters are cheap and a few of them can mean the difference between making it through a crawl and crawling through your friends. Also, they're good for carrying heavy shit.

Cannot stress enough how useful hirelings are in 2nd ed.
