Hi,
Though I played through the baldurs gate series (baldurs gate, sword coast
SOA and TOB) there is something I still don't understand and that is the
rating of weapons. I recently bought IWDI/II and now I really would like
to know. What does 2D4 or 1D6 mean and how does that work. I looked through
the various manuals and I know what thac0 etc. means however I can't find
anywhere what something like 1D8 for a weapon does. Most likely the Dx stuff
means a x sided dice but how is a successful hit calculated with it.
I used to go to a shopkeeper and guessed the more they payed for a weapon
the better it would probably be, but I would like to see it directly.
Regards, Ron AF Greve.
