BECMI to OSE To Hit & THAC0

OSE uses +1 to hit, or THAC0 for monsters. BECMI uses look-up-in-a-table, based on HD. For my own convenience I've laid out the conversion here.

HDUp to 11+ to 22+ to 33+ to 44+ to 55+ to 66+ to 77+ to 8
To Hit0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7
THAC01918171615141312
HD8+ to 99+10+11+12+13+14+15+
To Hit+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+16
THAC01110987654

... it actually keeps going after that, but it's sufficient for my purposes.

Here's a classic BECMI illustration of demi-humans from the Mentzer Basic set.
