I have to admit a certain nostalgia for my good old THAC0 tables. I mean, I know the new stuff is all washed clean and elegant and crap, but there's just something so... lawks, I don't know how else to put it, something so badass about having a negative armor class that you just can't capture with 3E's all-positive system. There was just this magical barrier of the zero you could transcend, beyond which you could start saying to yourself, yeah, I'm pretty damn hard, basically.

It's pathetic, I know. Welcome to my childhood.
