Whole of project topics (across booklets, versions, contributors, etc.)
Whoa, I had no idea. Like I said I never had a copy of Chainmail and my copies of D&D are from the 1974 printing, looks like my Chainmail pdf is a revision. Huh, time to hunt down an original!Of course, Wizard-3 and -4 were edited into CM 3rd Ed, post OD&D. As were spell complexities...

The Warrior rolls on the Combat Tables as two men, with a +1 bonus to one of the dice. Thus, he rolls two dice, with a +1 bonus to one of them. The Men, meanwhile, must make at least two successes (5 or 6) out of the three to hit the Warrior.
