Virtual Realities (ooc and questions l)

[Inferno]

Hey,
Two more things:

I violated my own rule by having Twitch's name begin with the same letter as Tullia! Twitch's name will be switched to Switch. Thanks.

Also, a new house rule: Rules that triple movement and spell ranges when outdoors are null and void. I will keep missile weapon ranges tripled outdoors however. Thanks.

Two things:

First, if someone else wants to be 'in charge'- feel free. I'll be the first to admit I'm not great at being in charge, but I felt like we needed someone to try and get some organization going. I'm NOT, in the least, trying to be snotty or petty.

Second: Who's-Yer Con is this weekend. I'll be AFK until Monday.

Rules question: What is THAC0? I haven't played much AD&D since the 1980s and some of the rules have obviously been updated.

Hi Spinward,
THAC0 is just shorthand for what a character or monster needs to roll on 1d20 in order "To Hit Armor Class 0 (zero)"

That number can be found in the DMG 1e combat charts.

You’re doing great!

no problem here either. Ko-Nan may have other ideas, however

[SpinwardMarch]

Thanks, Inferno. Abbreviations change over time. I am playing catch-up after over 20 years of playing various versions of Traveller. Hence "SpinwardMarch" after the Spinward Marches.

[Inferno]

Hi Spinward,
No problem at all! Feel free to ask any more questions you might have. Glad to have you here with us.

(assuming the squares are 5' and the top of the map is north)

Hi everyone,
All map squares will be 10 feet unless otherwise marked.
The tops of all maps will be North unless otherwise marked.
Thanks.

Where are Arto and Switch on the map, please? Or wont that matter much longer?

Arto is A. Switch is S.

[OGRE MAGE]

I guess I probably should have looked at that a little closer.

[wolfpack]

shouldn't I be able to place the spell behind number 6 so that just 11,5,4,6 are in the area of affect?

Hi wolf.
Unfortunately, it's out of range. And a caster can only move 1" in the same round that he casts a spell.

So, if he wanted to target that group, LL could move this round to get closer to his targets, and then try to cast next round. Or he could do something else.

Tillia

Time to start shooting...
She aims at #1...
Long Bow & arrow [1d20] = 14

I think there is an adjustment...?

Hi Spinward,
Thanks.
A few rules to keep in mind:

1. You can fire two arrows in a melee round. There are no other adjustments to your roll.

2. In the Dungeon Master's Guide, on p. 63, are rules about firing missiles into a melee combat. (Your target, caveman 1, is engaged in melee with Jeojand.) In short, the rules are: those missiles have an equal chance of hitting friend or foe. So you might wish to reconsider.

3. If you don't want to fire missiles into a melee, another option here is to attack caveman 1 with a melee weapon. You can move 1" in a round and still attack. And being within 1" of a target allows you to attack them, so you can reach caveman 1.

4. Finally, another melee option is to "charge:" You can move half your full move rate and attack. You can only do this once every 10 rounds. It gives a +2 to hit, and a +2 to be hit that round only. (since the cavemen already attacked this round, they won't get this bonus to hit you)

I hope this helps.

Best,
Inferno

If Inferno keeps rolling 20's for his side, this could be a quick adventure

[Starbeard]

Starbeard, your sheet is approved. Please load it into the character sheet thread, here: viewtopic.php?f=553&t=7266

Also, don't forget to roll 1d20 for Rumors and Legends. Thanks.

Missed this, sorry.

Rumors! [1d20] = 9

What does Jeojand think he knows?

That was one crazy round of rolls all right!

I'll include it in my next DM post.
Thanks for catching up!
