Ah much appreciated. I picked up The Dragon's Demand and wondered how it all fit together with everything else I'm seeing.

As I get more into this I'm seeing all kinds of things that look the same but have different names. Could someone help set me straight on the following?

Adventure Paths
Chronicles
Companions
Societies

Much appreciated, I didn't know the world was so vast or which direction to go in.

thanks for the info that is REALLY helpful. It was actually really funny to see them do things I didn't expect so it's working pretty well. I like the idea of making up the rules as well since I was trying to balance it all and some things just weren't making sense.

Thanks again

Hey there,

First I apologize for the basic nature of the questions but I can't seem to either get it or find what I need. I recently purchased the beginner box and am now going through a level one campaign with my boys and I'm wondering if I'm doing some things right.

With monsters, how do you play them right? Couple questions...

1. If I see the following:
Melee spear +4 (1d6/x3)
Ranged short bow +8 (1d4x3)

Does that mean max damage could potentially be 22 and 20 respectively? I ask because that's one of the encounters in a level one scenario? If so, I played it right but my oldest pretty much went from 10 hit points to -7 and was a little distraught lol.

2. Small Lightening elemental and others...

In the encounter last night if a trigger gets pulled the elemental gets upset. Character pulled the lever, we rolled initiative, player wins, attacks, full damage (12 hp) elemental dissipates. Did I do that right?

What about in the case of an Imp? How do you know or get guidance on special attacks, or what they would typically do?

I looked them up online and I think I got the details but I don't have any of the books right now. Any tips or guidance you could provide I would really appreciate. I'm looking to build a good adventure for the boys.
