What does ACKS use? Well, neither. With ACKS, we started When we designed ACKS we opted to present the game mechanic

TRANSITION
FROM OGL
The following tables present a list of attributes, classes, monsters,
spells, and magic items that have had their names changed. In
most cases, the change is essentially terminological. In some cases,
however, the transition from the OGL required or permitted
substantive changes. For instance, the Giant Acanthaspis is different
from the OGL Ankheg, the ACKS II mage missile is different from
the OGL magic missile and the ACKS II ring of anti-magic is
different from the OGL ring of spell turning.

When an entry is marked “Not present in ACKS II”, this means

that we excluded it for reasons of space and cost. Future ACKS
II sourcebooks may later incorporate non-OGL versions of these
entries, and you should feel free to use the ACKS I version in your
home campaigns. However, when an entry is marked “Deleted from
ACKS II,” we deliberately have removed this spell, item, or creature
from the game. In these cases, we strongly recommend that you
do the same: 10 years of ACKS playtesting has found these entries
problematic, and the game is largely improved by their absence.

 Welcome to ACKS II
System Compatability

It is an age when empires totter on the brink of war, and terrible monsters tear at the fragile borderlands of men; when decaying cities
teem with chaos and corruption, where nubile maidens are sacrificed to chthonic cults and nobles live in decadent pleasure on the toil of
slaves; when heroes, wizards, and rogues risk everything in pursuit of glory, fortune, and power;
when adventurers can become conquerors… and conquerors can become kings!

Welcome to the new age of old school gaming
