Hi guys im new here...
This is my third attempt to complete Icewind Dale in the past couple of years - Ive never got further than the Lizard Caves bit (cant remember the exact name of the part, but you probably all know which bit I mean). I am determined to complete the game this time, and my party is shaping up quite nicely.
Anyway, I just have a couple of questions regarding the rule system in general of this game... I hope someone can find the time to answer them!
Here goes:
1) Just what the hell is 'Turn Undead' ?? I have looked in the index of the manual but there is nothing on it! I would love to know, cos it sounds like it might be of use to me! I tell my cleric to do it everytime we run into skeletons etc. but I have no idea why!!
2) I know this is probably asked loads, but could someone briefly explain THAC0 to me or link me to an article about it? Im guessing its like AC, where the lower the score the better based on the fact that my fighters have THAC0's of 15(10) and 16(11), and my wizards have THAC0's of 19(18) and 19(19).
Also, is the first number your base THAC0 and the number in brackets your THAC0 after equipment bonuses?
Um, I think there are other things I wanted to know, but I cant think of them right now. I will post them as and when.
Many thanks!
