Precise Attacks or Precise Strikes are simply Sneak Attacks but with just a more appropriate name that is all. I mean Sneak Attacks do precision damage in some explanations and in some guidelines they have Sneak Attacks and Precise Attacks and they both do basically the same thing in the same way with the same benefits and restrictions.
Interesting I still use the 1 opponent, 2 opponent, and 3 opponent guideline in some of my games but not always because it does add a minor level of complexity that not everyone finds fun.
Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation.
Good ambush. I fear this will not end well.
The pseudo-random number generator is certainly not being kind, that is for sure.
No problem game is still on with the current characters being in a bad way due mainly to good pseudo-random numbers being generatored in the enemies favor.
The clerics up front strategy is definitely not working.
It is what the pseudo-random number generator determines it is and nothing more.
I think I'm going to drop this game. Thanks for the opportunity... but I don't remember the Old School Games I played in the past being this "UN-FUN". I don't mind failing... but the only success Gaspar has had in this game is crossing the pit... which can be argued wasn't really a good thing. :-)
I don't blame the GM I blame the Dice roller, but constantly failing, and the fact that it's getting ready to get real dark in here just doesn't give me the experience of escapism that I look for in a RPG.
Thanks for the opportunity, and hopefully we'll get a chance to game together in the future.
My wife was diagnosed with AML (leukemia), started chemo, and I am withdrawing from all my games. Please consider keeping Shadowdark going, it can be somewhat of a legacy.
Best wishes to all, spending Christmas in a hospital I will appreciate how nice it is to be at home.
Indeed Grimli. My thoughts are with you.
Wow okay take Grimli the best to you and yours.
Okay so do we continue with what is left?
We have potentially two remaining Active players (Ellis and Vanessa) I can tone this down for just two players and/or run NPCs as fillers to help round out the party but NPCs filler would be just fighter types.
So let me know what you all want to do.
Oh and my apology for the long delay -- life has been rather hectic over here and getting to games has been a challenge but I was hoping to move things forward today or this weekend.
I would like to continue.
I might have made a mistake -- I think we might still possibly have 3 active players
Okay I doubled checked but unless I am mistaken the only folks left are
EltonJ - Vanessa Wizard
Helaman - Ellis Fighter
I am going to fast forward through the current combat to allow you two to decide on what you are going to do in the face of this catastrophe -- lots of room for roll playing -- and I will bump the recruitment thread to see if anyone else wants to join in.
Now let me also ask would you two like to play something a bit more heroic rather than the old style game play. I know that now a days this more unforgiving version of play is not what most folk are used to anymore and want to be a cut above the grade rather than normal serfs trying to be something greater than what they are.
You would not have to change your characters if you did not want, but you can also choose to do so as well. Basically I would have you reroll your attributes using a more heroic means. I would also create a couple of generic fighters and maybe a cleric to join you on your excursion that is unless we get other players to join in.
Maybe even Gaspar might rejoin if we change the play style.
Lastly, please let me know what you feel is fun and what you might like to see going forward -- as well as what you might not like to see going forward.
So Ellis of Karth are you still with us?
