I quickly read to the Combat section to compare Hyperborea’s combat sequence with AD&D’s.

And discovered that AD&D didn’t have one? I checked with the DMG and no love.

Maybe a closer reading is required!

If Teela wasn’t bred for luck, there would be no mission to Ringworld, the book would therefore not exist and Larry Niven wouldn’t write Louis traveling eastwards to elongate his birthday, thereby committing an elementary error that he was teased about relentlessly.

Dang that breeding for luck!
