Six,
Which number do they change around in the 3rd? I would assume AC stays the same (the lower the better) so you must mean THAC0. But that doesn't make sense either. Now if my THAC0 is 15 and I am trying to hit someone with an AC of 5 then I must roll a 10. But if my THAC0 is 17 (which you say is the better THAC0 in 3rd edition) and I am attacking a guy with an AC of 5, now I have to roll a 12 or higher. That definitely doesn't make sense. My THAC0 got better and his AC stayed the same yet it is harder to hit him.
I AM SO LOST WITH THIS. I NEED A MATHEMATICIAN.
