Otto,

Yes, I have listed NO racial THAC0 bonuses. I believe the Ranger is the only character to get them, and he only for one race. Actually, I have NO in-game data at all for the Ranger (yet).

I know this will sound snobbish, though I don't intend it that way; but IWD with HoW is so superior to vanilla IWD in so many ways, that I have no interest at all in the latter, except as it may help me to help others who have yet to acquire the expansion. That is a neat fact though: the CON bonus being good for IWD-only. So now I've found -ONE- reason for not installing HoW.

Exceptional (18/xx) STR. Good question. I haven't added it because: A.) I don't remember the effects; and B.) I assumed that the effects were not that big a deal. Maybe I am wrong about the latter, and I wouldn't mind getting a lesson on the former.

If you include spell table, spells, and abilities, I think EVERY class except the Fighter changed. The Bard and Druid changed (improved) significantly.

Yes, I am using only HoW data, except where I seem to always be confronted with situations where the differences matter for commonly asked questions (like Specialist Mage opposition schools).
