I noticed that the more armour and such you put on, the lower the number indicating your armour class (I think that is what it is) lowers until it eventually reaches the negatives. Once it reaches -1, -2 etc. is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Also, how come the ring or pro +1 and +2 don't work with some types of armours?

The BG games were D&D 2nd edition. D&D 2nd ed was a table based system where the more negative your AC was the better it was. Also in 2nd edition, rings of protection could not be used with armour. There are going to be more confusing things in BG if you are not familiar with 2nd edition, so don't worry.

Yes, I just started playing Icewind Dale, and I had a bit of trouble getting reajusted. I never really understood all the ins and outs of many things in the 2e games, but looking at them again makes me appreciate many of the adjustments that were made for the better in 3e.
Of course, I haven't played a 3e game yet. I almost bought Neverwinter Nights the other day, but couldn't. (I was a few bucks short.) My brother bought it instead, giving me IWD now that he had a new game. (Hand-me-downs. Woo.  )
Oh well. I'm having fun showing him how different things were. He had no idea what a feat was, even though I'd told him about them. Plus he's one of those people who never use the rule books if they can help it. It's a good thing I was around to help him -- he was highly confused about the armor issue, too.  |

Negative was always good in both games.  |
