1 Has anyone tabulated monsters from various old D&D versions into spreadsheets? I've noticed a few differences and I'd like to track what changes there are-- mostly HD and damage dice going up or down. That's a lot of typing, though, so if someone's done it, it would save me work.
2 Do you know of any discussions in blog posts or forums about multiple attacks by monsters, like 1d4/1d4/1d8? I thought saw something a year or so ago. I'm curious about why these show up at the HD levels they do, whether they're intended to help monsters have a better chance of hurting higher level characters, or take on groups of pcs, etc.
Thanks. I hope you're all avoiding heat stroke.
Two interesting questions. Sorry I don't have any answers. But --
ReplyDeleteSave or die (http://mahney.blogspot.com/) has been very slowly noting the changes between OD&D and AD&D. Interesting to read but it won't save you any typing. (I think the posts begin around 2008 or 2009), and he's still on the AD&D MM, but has covered everything chronologically, including Dragons.
Thanks a bunch. I'll check his blog out. Also, I'll do my best answer boh questions and post back here later.
