Yeah. I made the mistake of buying one when I was a newbie. Didn't realise it was from Dragon at the time.


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

From our wonderful site here...appears to be issue #74 from June of 1983.

NobleKnight has it in stock for $5...but....if all you want is a combat computer ....

Here's a link to a modified one for 2nd Edition --> http://melkot.com/mechanics/combat-comp.html

Denis' calculator is a great idea---I'd always wanted a similar tool for saving throws, I just never thought about adding other stuff to it as well.  (I haven't used it yet, though, since I'm not sure how closely 2e hit rolls and saves approximate 1e.
