Off To War... Recriutment/Discussion

[Gondsman]

So from the RG and the map I'm going to assume that none of the villagers or men at arms have crossbows.

The map only shows the first 75' of my 100' range, can you let me know when the elves get into 100' range?

the new map side barricades are larger, 20' to a side making them closer to 30' length, is that more right than previous or less right? Just FMI (orFYI)



btw, I'd waiting for a post from Claude since he has init, and I don't quite get how to post, especially with the elves at least 2 rounds away at a full run (1 round of full run into my arrow range) and my villagers being melee only.

I hate to interrupt this discussion, but I was wondering if there was recruitment still going on for this game. Sounds interesting, and I like the concept. If this is the wrong place to discuss this, then apologies, and I will delete this post if needed.

Thanks!

Lone Wolf?

Sorry about the formation error. Twas' a mistake. Oh well. Guess you gotta play cards with the hand you were dealt. Oh, and Gondsman. Never say "to heck with it". Haha. We got this in the bag. We just work together and it is as good as done. Oh yeah!

I plan on have Marko retreat when the ground forces advance. He'll rejoin the line as soon as this arrow barrage lets up.

Welcome Fangor

Everyone gets in. We look forward to you joining us soon. HolyMan will speak to you about the process for joining. Hope to see you posting soon.

@ Gondsman: there are three villiagers with crossbows but I thought it realistic to put them with Robert (Ranger/range combat), as he was the one to get them working. So a missile barrage will be coming from that side. The two small barricades should only be 20' long I know at that angle it seems longer (D&D rules it would take you 30' of movement, to get from one end to the other)

@ Fangor the Fierce, Welcome aboard Deskjob has the right of it everyone gets into Off to War. This is D&D and anything can be explained away.

Please just let me know what you would like to play givin' the guidelines on page 1, and we can work you in.

I just went over to page one to make sure that the rules for Character gene were there and I noticed that I started this thread one year ago today.

I want to thank everyone newbies and dropouts, and those who have been through all this from post one. All of you have made this an enjoyable game for me, And I thank all of you. And from what I have been planning we have only scratched the surface.

Please make up anything you wish to play long term I plan on more years of Off to War.

A new body in the fray and a milestone to remeber and I got the pathfinder players guide, it is a good day

ML are we talking about the same things I was mentioning the DB (Defensive Bonus) all characters get for AC. It is 1/2 your BAB, so if Lora has dodge as well then you will have an AC 18/19 vs. one opponent.

Also ghostcat was address your color spray request but thiught a om would be better.

Ah ok then Although clustered together we are actually more vulnerable to volley fire mind you.. BTW me and ghostcat are the only remaining players from the original ones? Theroc left, Deskjob made a 10 month or so pause, and FM and DW joined a few months later.

Not talking about d&d movement rules, I'm talking about trigonometry and the length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle with 15' or 20' legs. the hypotenuse of the 15' legs is about 21' so 20' works to provide cover on that line, but with 20' legs it's 28' and you have 8' on the end that isn't covered, basically that whole last diagonal.

I'm an engineer, trig is my life.

Thanks for the welcome! Question - I have only gone through the first 30 pages of this thread... man, I need a break, eyes hurting!

On the character creation guidelines, it looks like it changed from basic PHB classes with allowable changes to any class, since I see a Duskblade in the Rogue Gallery.

So, when it says any class available, from what books is that referring to? Core classes only, or classes from all WotC books? Complete Series, Draconomicon, etc?

I have a few options, but wonder which characters are still in the game, as I like to make something that works well with the 'team'. If they are all fighter-type/melee, then I would go with something that would compliment the group.

Looking forward to playing!
