Ya. I got that part. I wrote it in my message. Now let me give you my example:

1) If my THAC0 is 7 and your AC is 3 then I have to roll a 4 or higher on a 20 sided die to do damage. (From the formula THAC0-AC= what I must roll to do damage.)
2) If my THAC0 is 2 and your AC is -1 now I have to roll a 3 or higher to do damage. (From the formula THAC0-AC= what I must roll to do damage.)

That's crazy! You have a BETTER AC yet it is EASIER to do you damage. That is because of the lower THAC0. I think I have just figured out that THAC0 is easily just as important as AC. A revelation to me although probably not to many of you.
