2. What is THACO ?
3. What is Saving Throw ?
4. What is Save vs. ?
If you can answer these...thnku very much, if not, don't worry...
1) 1d8 means that it'll roll a die with 8 sides, which means you have the possibility of getting damage, 1, 2, 3... 8. 2d8 means rolling 2 dices with 8 sides, with the possible damage of 2-16
2) Thac0 is the acynym (spelling?) for To hit armor class 0, eh, someone else will explain it, but the lower, the better
3) eh, someone else will explain it, the lower the bgetter.
4) eh
uggh, you beat me.
