Question on Who Developed Fighting Capability

[Havard]

Hey guys,

Out of curiosity do we know who created the Fighting Capability that is listed for each class in OD&D? I am curious if that is an Arneson artifact from the Blackmoor rules or if it is a Gygax addition to the rules.

Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,
do you mean the attack vs AC charts?

I think the final version may be Gary, but clearly based on earlier versions from Dave. Dave did speak of an armor class system he had developed for an iron clads type game that was never published that he started using for Blackmoor. 

Perhaps others here know more?
