Why all this fuzz about calculating AC by the level gain? I was under the
impression that all this "ducking and weaving" was already a part of the
hp-system. Hit points measure the characters ability to avoid punches
etc... Or am I just showing my ignorance and newbie status on this list
by bringing this up?

Well, if this all was a part of a new combat system,
then mark my comments down as blathering from someone who has only just
subscribed to this list. But as I recall the original idea of increasing
HP's as the level increases would already take into account this thing
that u are talking about.. NHF :-)
