HOUSE RULE: Simple Attack Rolls

As discussed before, the essence of Chainmail-style D&D is the two-dice attack table.  For those that don't want to constantly refer back to the "Man-To-Man Melee Table" in the middle of combat, here is a simple alternative that uses "lower is better" rolls to hit a traditional descending Armor Class.  Simply roll two dice and reduce the roll according to attacker's level.

ATTACK MATRIX 1: MEN ATTACKING

Roll two dice and reduce the result by the attacker's bonus by level.  If the score is equal or less than the target's Armor Class, then the attack hits, dealing 1-6 points of damage.

Cleric		Fighting-Men		Magic-User	To Hit
1-3		1-2		1-3	+0
4-5		3		4-7	+1
6-8		4		8-10	+2
9-10		5			+3
		6			+4
		7-8			+5
		9			+6
		10			+7

ATTACK MATRIX II: MONSTERS ATTACKING

Monsters attack as men, but with a bonus for every full hit die.
