This is an old thing I wrote last year I found looking for another thing I wrote.
Fun thing I noticed a month ago around February of 2021 is that the old D&D turn undead
tables are attack matrices from wargames. This is probably not news
to really old people.
So I propose this matrix, which no one asked for. You must roll equal to or less than the listed number on 2d6 to deal a blow to a foe with the given hit dice. This is simplified so assume any hit dice with of hd+x is the next higher hit die total. An “X” denotes instant disablement. It has a lot of flaws and such because this is adapted from a tank wargame where a hit is destruction of the target and is based on the armor class and attack factor. But hey, the old school turn undead table is a weird wargame matrix.
