lol, well by average I guess I mean the half-way point. a d6 is 3, d8 is 4, etc.
Thats the thing though :)
A dice doesnt have a 0 on it, so halfway is 3.5 for a d6, 4.5 for a d8 and so on. The question really is, do you round up or down, although you sorta already answered that I guess.
I guess I'll roll for HP.
Feelin a bit bad for old Ferdin. I feel like ive suggested this before but I usually run rolls with "reroll thresholds" like so:
1d6 = Reroll 1s
1d8 = Reroll 1-2s
1d10 = Reroll 1-3s
and so on.
Taking the average HP Hurts high HD classes more than low HD classes, since you "lose" more HP (a d6 loses 3 HP, a d12 loses 6) Rolling a d6 at most gets you 2 HP less but can net you 3 more, while rolling a d12 at most gets you 5 less HP but can net you 6 more HP. The difference in potential loss and gain is the same for the two dice (1) but the larger variable makes the higher dice HD fluctuate far more. Add to that that the high HD chars usually need all the HP they can get and you realize settling for only 2 more average HP is just really bad.
With the reroll system, at most any given dice will lose 1 HP, while retaining the potential for higher HP, making higher HD actually desirable.
Thats my rant over, consider it or ignore at your leasure.
Well ferdin it is your lucky day... I just rolled hp for a character in another campaign, ad the dm let us reroll 1s... I rolled a two lol. So... Out of spite towards him ;p go ahead and reroll
roflmao, the rolls!!!
Lol!
How do you guys get text to be same color as your rolls?
I think he means green?
open bracket... dice= and then you type stuff here and its green... and close brackets... Dice roll... bracket end dice close brackets...
[ dice=Something like this]1d20 + 2[/dice]
I just put a space after the first bracket to make it fail and show up as the text used.
you are getting pretty good at making map jello :) i might even recrute you as a map maker :)
Oh nonsense. They aren't half as good as I would like them to be
We Be Goblins has started, just so you know.
How did you the grid numbers to show up in MapTools?. I'm still working out I want to do combat for the game.
Click view => show grid. Make sure it's checked. Next hit view =>show coordinates. You may have to right click and drag the map to make sure it's all lined up (a1 a2 etc) somes times Map tools likes to start you with crap like a -4...
Hey guys, I been busy past couple days, expect me to post sometime after tomorrow...
It's all good man. Holidays are usually busy. Happy 4th!
Oh you americans and your summer fireworks tsk tsk :P
jello would it be possible for you to put the link to the current battle map on the top of the campaign thread for easy access (like i have mine for example).
dice = Lulz. Epic lulz.
thkans for putting the battle up up on the game thread :)
Np Arthur. It's a great idea I can't believe I didn't do it before ha.
Thalrik, he's monk 4, rogue 2... Bwahaha. He's also creeping to half health.
Zomg. Even so, an effective attack bonus of +11 before flurry penalty is pretty hairy -.-
Well he might or might not have drank a potion of cat's grace before the fight... and have weapon finesse, and maybe other things ha. Gotta make the first BBEG a challenge! I mean your all level 2... You'll probably be ok. Probably.
I actually prefer is when BBEG's do stuff that's not the standard "walk into room and fight PCs". Makes things more interesting! Besides... if he's buffed, and level 6, and had 10 goblin mooks, that means it's a higher level encounter and we get more XP :P
nope i think jelly took the long weekend off
That I did my friends. Havnt been around the computer. It's looking like y'all have successfully knocked out the BBEG, so besides a couple of gobs to clean up... Except a post soon!
you went camping again i bet :)
Oh, I wish! Just hung around town, saw some friends who I haven't seen in a few years. Went fishing, played some MTG. Drank a lot. Fun stuff ;)
MTG WOOOOT!
Lol wut? Im guessing you posted, then deleted it again? Cuz im not seeing anything :)
Are we hearing voices now?
I think I always have been
Ha the voices of ghaunadaur speak to you ? :)
West Coast is -9h for me. so while i just got up and getting ready to go to work right now you should be close to midnight :) and get ready to go to bed soon....
sleep is for dreamers. I like the calmness and beauty that only the quiet of the night can bring.
lulz
Also you are completely right. It is about 11:30
you should say 23:40 (we use what you have called standard military time over here)
:)
Yeah, well, they don't teach us those things in American schools, and sometimes I like to be lazy and not do different kinds of thinking 8P
Crazy Americans with their silly time keeping habits and measurements. Metric, get on that people :P!
Hey guys my RotRL book is MIA, I think I left it at a buddy's house... So sorry about the slow development here I need to get that book before we continue on ;p
That sounds moderately necessary :P
Nay it isn't when you have friends Ashern :)
Yeah but if we retired, who would stop the Runelord?
Hey fellas, know its been a while since i've posted. Been a bit busy, but want you all to know i'm still here and will have everything going again very soon! Hope yall are still with me here 8p
