This is my first time playing computerbased RPG:s and using AD&D rules. I have reached chapter 5 and have a couple of questions. The first two are basic and simple but I want to be sure that I have understood the rules correctly.
1. What exactly does it mean when a spell only affect monster with for example 8 hit dice? I guess it has something to do with how much HP it has, but I don’t understand how much 8 hit dice is. Do you roll aD6 and see (max 48 min 8), it doesn’t seem right, or do they have max?

1 Hit Dice represents a value from one dice for the purpose of calculating HP values. Different creatures use different dices( some use a six-sided dice, some eight-sided)
For example, if a creature is 4 Hit Dice, and uses a six-sided dice, then its' HP value will range from 4-24 HP.

2. Does MR only affect spells that give damage, or does it also affect spells like Hold, Slow etc? If it only affect damage what happens if a monster has 100% MR, will it not be immune to all types of magic? And if it affects all types will I both get a save vs. Spells and a save with my MR (20%)

Magic Resistance will affect all spells unless the spell ignores Magic Resistance( of which there are a few). Read the Spell Reference from the link in the Forum FAQ to learn everything about spells.
Saving Throws only come into play if the spell bypasses the Magic Resistance. MR is always checked first.

Sorry if these are stupid questions! I tried to look in the FAQ and search old topics but didn’t find exactly what I’m looking for.

The only stupid question is the one that is not asked. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Disclaimer: Assuming the person asking had tried other means of course.

Also I think I have problem with bugs or is it supposed to be like this……
- I play a Cavalier and when I began I could use “Draw upon holy magic”, but recently I discovered that the ability is gone. Don’t know if other abilities are lost. (I have rested)

....I had problems with both the royal guards and the rebels attacking me (except some royal). And when I had killed the king, the prince tanked me and said I was always welcome and so on. Then he turned into an enemy but didn’t attack me. The exact same thing happened to the remaining Shaugin? Including the priestess where you can heal (she attacked and are know forever gone).

You might have accidentally slained some rebels in your attempt to kill the King. Fret not... they are all evil anyway, so feel free to kill them all for the sake of Humanity.
