Essential Tables From AD&D’s 2^nd edition Players Handbook, Dungeon Master’s Guide, Psionics Handbook and others. Compiled by Reverends David A. Donsky and Evan C. Corbett. This is meant to ease the creation of characters of any level. Some of these tables have been modified for the Five Rings of Power Campaign and include optional races and classes. These charts seem distorted on most machines that do not run Microsoft Office 2000 and/or have a resolution of 800 X 600 or lower. Perhaps changing it to web layout might help. Sorry for the inconvenience. Let me know if these are not distorted.
