Roll to hit the chosen target (i.e., no random determination of targets). If it's a "near miss" (e.g., by 4 or less on the to-hit roll), it may have hit a friendly. Roll a second d20, adding the attacker's missile attack bonus. If the second roll is 1-10 (modified), it hits a friendly. The DM can adjust the target role on the d20 as needed based on the number of hostiles vs. enemies. If it's one hostile surrounded by 6 enemies, maybe the DM says it hits a friendly on a 1-19.

This has the advantage, IMO, of better archers being more likely to hit their intended targets and less likely to hit someone else, with accuracy increasing by skill and level.

Yes, it should be listed on the XP/HP thread.

Zhym wrote:BTW, what's the scale in that map? Are the cultists close enough that we could make a charging attack in one round?

Charge: Charging into combat allows the attacker to move and then attack in the same round. A charge is made at twice the normal movement rate (and must terminate within the 10 ft melee range of the target). If the defender has a longer weapon than the attacker, the defender attacks first (unless the defender has already acted in this round). The attacker gains no dexterity bonus against such an attack (and characters with no Dex bonus receive a +1 AC penalty). Additionally, if the defender has a weapon set against the charge (see below), he or she will inflict additional damage with a successful hit against the charging attacker.

Assuming that the charging character survives, he or she gains +2 “to hit” on his or her attack. Characters may only perform a charge once every 10 rounds (i.e. once per turn)

Dizlexus, please provide the range for your hollowed cane, because I only have the range for a dart and that's 15 ft, one and half squares on the map provided.
