Are there any Ascending ac rulesets for Fantasy Grounds? I have Scarlett Heroes an ascending ac osr game in book form, and I want to play in fantasy grounds. I don't even mind manually copying NPC or weapon stats from the book. I just need a usable ascending ac character sheet.

For what it's worth, if AC is your only issue.

20 - AscendingAC = AC

20 - 15 (ascending) = AC 5 in D&D/AD&D

If that's all that is holding you back.

Thanks, but unfortunately that means I won't be able to use the combat tracker or automatic attack rolls since its descending. I'll have to manually do it. Which doesn't bother me that much because i'm playing solo. I guess when converting do I just ignore the THAC0?

I'm not sure I understand. If you convert the AC to descending the NPCs should work in the CT. If the THACO value is the problem (you don't know it) you can convert Base attack bonus to THACO.

20 - BaB = THACO

Castles & Crusades has what the OP is looking for I believe.

I agree - Castles & Crusades - Ascending AC and much other goodness but still very much old school D&D.

Thanks I'll get castles.

"If the THACO value is the problem (you don't know it) you can convert Base attack bonus to THACO."

Yeah I was a little confused. I've only played ascending AC so I wasn't quite sure what THAC0 was. I think I got it figure out.
