#THAC0 existed purely to confuse the hell out of newcomers

[y-rhywbeth2]

There is a scale of tolerance in ttrpg players regarding how much maths and bookkeeping they'll do.

On one end is the player who copes best with the bare bones of the World of Darkness. As in basic mortals, vampires if you stretch. All they have to do, for the most part, is count dots. More maths than that causes distress.

On the other end is the maths nerd who wants you to port THAC0 into 5e rules and is in utter dismay that DnD is apparently decreasing the amount of numbers they need to juggle.
