Good timing - a little early though. Not yet - I'll reach out, but hopefully it will be obvious. I will be soliciting player/character input later today/this evening.

Please give your character Gauntlets of Ogre Power; so he'll have that and +1 axe I think?

that's be why I figured it would be good to ask first.

Everyone, welcome Dram to the group. As long as he/she can get his/her character ready within next 24 hours, we should be ready to roll...

I may drop the NPC F/MU/T and let Skyzar (1/2E MU/T) replace him.

Welcome Dram don't worry you have only missed Char creation and random chatter that is all OOC

Hey, Dram!

Hello everyone, Thank you for the welcome.


GM
Are you able to look over the character sheets? I would like to know if my character sheet is correct.

hi dram!

When you have your character sheet open at the top it should say something like
but yours will have a different number to mine which is 1824.

hope that makes sense

Shaidar

Yes I have a ID number.

Go to the "Character" forum for Hanted Mines of Gomor, add new post/reply, enter: [sheet]your number[/sheet]

Ready, armed and willing! Should be all systems go.

Also ready and armed

Got my macros ready, I'm set to go.

My memory is telling me in AD&D, all damage is multiplied during a Backstab, not just the base weapon damage. I believe this was clarified by the sage at some point. Am I correct or just suffering from dementia?

I have all my macros completed except backstabbing I cannot get to work properly. to hit: [1d20+5], to dam: [1d4+2x4] .

The damage section it will not work with +2 and multiplyer of 4.

I guess that you could at least place the x4 after the brackets so it appears as a reminder in the results "[1d4+2]x4":
[1d4+2] = 3+2 = 5x4

... PS. the notes for Skyzar list backstab as x3 not x4, so either the macro or the notes need adjusting [or I mis-remember how the backstab works, which is not unthinkable ]

To be honest, that's how me and my brother always did it - so yeah, you get to multiply everything. One of the perks of being a thief. That and the lousy THACO - I guess that evens it out.

Thank You that will work. Hope the site admins will be to make a solution.

Dram, I'm curious, why a multiplier of 4 on the backstab? Shouldn't it by x3?
