Hi Folks

        Just a quicky on MOB's RQ characters v AD&D characters hack up. 1) Yes, the fighters will be better (probably) especially if the AD&Ders do not have exceptional STR. Remember more than 8 pts of damage is rare in AD&D and plate stops that.
2) My money's on the AD&D party. The first fireball is going to crisp about 50% of the RQ party (even at 7th level)! So half of the RQers make their POW v POW saving throw and are unaffected, the others will take at least half damage... Magic missile is also a killer, at 7th level it does 14 pts of damage ignoring armour.

RQ magic is rather different from the high destruction, area of effect, zap magic of AD&D.

Cheers
