( Re-imagined Original Edition Dungeons & Dragons)

This document combines elements of Original Dungeons & Dragons with Chain Mail and the Greyhawk supplement. It offers options for
you to substitute in place of the material already found in the original sources. Some of what appears here has been re-imagined, and is
thus included to provide you with a game mechanic that functions differently than was previously published. Hopefully you will find this to
be an interesting and entertaining change.
The material presented here is meant to be used in conjunction with the original rules set--substituting for the mechanics found in those
documents. Except for the changes appearing in this document, the original rules should be used.
The first 12 levels of experience are treated as follows. Characters advancing beyond these will require extension of the information given.

Fighting Men decrease the above figures by 2. Clerics and thieves decrease the above figures by 1. 0-level types increase the above
figures by 1. All classes additionally decrease the above figures by 1 upon reaching certain levels of ability:
FM L4, L7, L10, L13, L16 ; C /T L5, L9, L13, L17; MU L6, L11, L16, L21.

Procedure: roll 3d6, with a score equal or greater to the number required resulting in a kill/hit.
Monsters may or may not be capable of wearing armor, but not all should be treated as the "No Armor" type. Thus, they will be given an
Armor Class rating (or, ACR) of from 9 to 2 which correspond to the above armor-types.
Monsters not using weapons will be assigned an equivalent-type to account for claws, fists, bites, etc., with commensurate modifiers to
account for their HD/strength. Example: kobolds would use the above table as a 0-level type; orcs as a L1 FM.

Increase the figures shown by 1 for missiles fired at Medium range.
Increase the figures shown by 2 for missiles fired at Long range.
Example, Short bow: short range=1" to 5"; medium range = 6" to 10"; long range= 11" to 15"

Crushing attack: fist blows, stomping, tail slaps, thrown objects (as in giant boulders),etc.
Piercing attacks: fang/teeth bites, horns, etc.
Slashing attacks: claw rends /rips,

All monsters decrease the numbers shown by 1 per each hit die they have; up to 1-1 treated as 0 level men types.
Smaller than man-sized creatures increase the numbers shown by 2.
Larger than man-sized creatures decrease the numbers shown by 1.
Huge creatures decrease the numbers shown by 2.

Humanoid creatures capable of wielding weapons will do so using the Man vs. Man adjustments, but will otherwise reduce the numbers
shown by 1 for each hit die they possess.

Damage done by creatures is given in the Monsters & Treasure booklet of the OD&D rules. Generally, 1d6 is the default range, but some
creatures will have specific modifications to this. A good table depicting each monster's natural attack form/s is found in the Greyhawk
supplement on pages 16 -19. Some are not specified (as giants), and the DM should assign the appropriate attack types in such cases.
When using GH supplement, consider only the attack forms, and ignore the damages listed, referring to the original rules.

Appendix C, ADDED MATERIAL FROM OTHER SOURCES

The dedicated Dungeon Master will not settle for what is in hand when sprinkled throughout that 'what' is a smorgasbord of inspiration. The
original (3 little) brown booklets that make up the 1974 Dungeons and Dragons game are nothing less than a springboard for creative world
makers to expand upon. One can easily create original material for the game, or alter material borrowed from other systems. Evidence of
this being in fact the case (as early as 1975-76) can be found in the supplements--Greyhawk and Blackmor--and the plethora of articles
that appeared in Strategic Review and Dragon magazine around the same time.
Thus the following is included in this document for use by the Dungeon Master, and serves as such an example.
