Different types of character and creature have different THAC0 they may consult.
Which Table To Use?
A character uses the best THAC0 table they qualify for by their Level or HD. For example, a Level 9/11 Fighter/Thief would gain a THAC0 of 12 from Fighter and only 15 from Thief. As such, they use 12 for their THAC0.
Classless Characters (and Pseudo-Class Characters) use the Creature THAC0 table with either their Hit-Dice or Level.
If they later take a Class, they use either their THAC0 from HD on the Creature table or what they gain from Class levels, whichever is higher. For instance, a 12-1 HD Hill Giant gains 9 THAC0 by default. If the character took the Fighter Class and gained 5 levels, this would not increase their effective HD by 5 on the Creature Table, granting them an effective HD of 17 and a THAC0 of 3. Instead, it would allow them to choose between THAC0 16 (Level 5 Fighter) or THAC0 9 (12-1 HD Hill Giant).
