I have played a lot of 2nd ed. AD&D over time both PnP and on computer.
IwD 2 is my 1st contact with 3rd ed. rules and I have quite a problem with character ACs.
In 2nd ed. rules - lets say - the worst AC is 10 and the best -10 (I know - they can get lower or higher). How does this compare to 3rd ed. AC ??? Asked in another way - which 3rd ed. AC corresponds to 2nd ed. AC 0 ??? Or - for example - how good is 3rd ed. AC 20 ???

I know the principle behind this 3rd ed. AC rules - the higher the better etc. but I have no idea of the *relative* value of a certain 3rd ed. AC.

I hope this is not too confusing ...
