i've just started a berserker fighter on fully patched SOA + TOB,but something seems to be wrong
my fighter has 18/54 strength,5 slots in long swords,and yet his thac0 is 17...
in fact,my BASE thac0 is 22.even aerie in my party has more.
is this normal? am i getting something confused up? my characters seems to have 47% kills in the party,so i guess the high thac0 must be some sort of strange bug
bugged THAC0?

A fighter gets 1 decreased in thac0 per level. So a fighter level 1 has a base thac0 of 20, a fighter level 7 should have a base of 14, and so on.
Then you add your modifications, in your case:
Strength bonus: 18/54 gives +2 to hit.
Grandmastery: depending on mods etc, anywhere from +3-5 to hit. I assume +3 as you seem to play the vanilla game.
Weapon enchantment: whatever bonusses your weapon adds to hit.
Since you state base thac0 22 and actual thac0 17, which is a modification of 5, I assume you use a mundane longsword.
Edit: could be that grandmastery in vanilla game adds only +2 to hit - but I'm sure you get the picture.
Basically, the things that can lower your thac0:
Blindness, Glitterdust type effects
Level drain
Ability score (strength) drain
Check your character sheet to ensure your character does not suffer from any of these effects.
All the above effects will wear off over time, with the exception of Level drain and a certain type of blindness (druidic spell called: Natures beauty). Thus, try to wait a bit, alternatively try resting.
If all else fails, then I suggest you download shadowkeeper, look up your character and check what base thac0 is displayed - if it doesn't match what you should have, then edit it.

alright i checked again
this time i made sure there were no status affects on me,no curses,no spells,NOTHING.
i even slept to make sure of it
my base thac0 is put at 22 at level 8. it should be 13...
perhaps the winded debuff from enrage is permanent or something.
another bug has also been spotted.my character can only see a small radius around him,while the party has normal line of sight.
in any case,im gonna restart the game

Sounds like your blind and not a bug, that would also explain the bad THACO.
