I add all bonuses, count penalties as zero.

There are other resources you can use, besides rpg sourcebooks and sites. Galley was an existing ship type, so why not check out what they were like? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galley

No. The base movement speed is per action (see page 77).

I went the Arduin way with my races for my next campaign and included multiple different versions for some races (and as in the previous one, race as class is not a thing at my table). Elves? There are evil fey, decadent melnibonéans, and tree huggers too. Dwarves? There are hill/mountain dwarves, p...

One of my players asked if he could burn luck to win an important combat encounter. He rolled his initiative first before the opposing side and wanted to know the opposition's roll before burning so he'd know how much luck to burn. I said he'd have to gamble on the amount of luck to burn because he...

Elfland is at the North Pole, where the bearded old Elfking keeps the elves as his minions.

Why would they add their level? Skill check if untrained is d10 + attribute bonus, if trained d20 + attribute bonus. Any kind of class bonuses are added to these.

I have created two generic character sheets for my next campaign. I thought some of you might find them useful. Here they are: http://vorpalmace.blogspot.hu/2017/01/d ... heets.html

In my campaigns druids usually worship no gods but nature itself, or celtic gods, or some of the old ones (eg. Shub-Niggurath).

One way of improving them is tying them to objects the players desire. The boulder in Raiders of the Lost Ark is a good example: there was a treasure, Indy took the risk, failed his disarm trap check, then had to run and use the environment to avoid it. It was a deliberately taken risk. Did you noti...

Hi, I've scoured the rules and this site for a ruling about interrupting spellcasters and I must've missed it--my apologies. Like a lot of other areas this isn't clearly defined and is left for the Judge to make a call. So whatever I write from now on is mostly just my personal way of handling thin...

Yes. That's how you get martial arts.

Roleplaying is a hobby that brings together people. Politics is the quickest way to ruin this, involving it will only lead to anger, argument, butthurt. Leave it where it belongs - out of this game.

Do what thou wilt.

Oh yeah, I didn't even mention monsters with higher crit chance. Seriously, I would take a new tentacle over getting smashed into the ground any day.

If you like playing fighters, in first edition through third edition, then the Mighty Deeds of Arms makes your fighter explosive and dangerous. You're bound to enjoy the freedom and carnage you can dish out. Until you roll a fumble in heavy armor. Or someone crits you in melée, which has 5% chance ...

The former. If the +3 was added to the damage, then it would be written as 1d4+3.

Accidentally sent it in PM... So, A4 all around Europe, but I can handle US letter size too, don't worry.

They are simple, small, and waste less ink. I can print and cut them out at home cheap, no need to pay shipping and other silly things. Isn't this enough?

I like them. Is there a pdf option I missed or it's print only?

The rules usually mention in the description when an attack or spell goes against a saving throw.

Fiona wrote:Okay does that mean they speak one extra language or 6 or 15? It doesn't specify if it's one bonus language or more.

As much as your ability score modifier - which is -1 for 6, and +1 for 15.

The starting luck bonus is added to the number of languages your character speaks.

We've seen a lot of shitty zeros level up and survive. Heck, one of my players had a crappy character that had ne less than -2 for every and damage attack roll. He wanted to use him as cannon fodder, but he survived everything and lived to see the end of the campaign as a level 3 warrior. The player...

Well, it's his way of handling them then it seems. Doesn't make much difference. Do what thou wilt, just don't sweat on the rules.
