For no reason in particular:
If you've ever wanted to try out Greyhawk's Weapon vs AC tables but didn't want to do the fiddly parts of looking up every modifier, then you can try these. I based them on Nagora's AD&D weapon vs AC tables. Basically, it pre-factors all modifiers into a single d20 attack table that resembles Chainmail (find your weapon, find their armor type, that's your number to hit), and each class has a "combat bonus" it adds to the roll based on level. The result is 100% identical to what you'd get from the M&M d20 matrix combined with the WvAC modifiers.
It should speed up the process a lot, since you don't need to interpret what sort of armor a certain AC is. If there is any magical AC going on, then that would simply add to the number needed.
For example:
A 6th level fighter (combat bonus +2) wields a battle axe against an evil priest wearing chain and shield.
Battle axe vs Chain & shield = 16+ and the fighter rolls 1d20+2.
Now let's say the evil priest has a ring of protection +1 and a shield +2: we'd call that Chain & Shield (+3), bumping the 16+ to 19+.
