    D&D 2E Battlemat with AD&D 2e?

    eh, my DM really wants to use a battlemat. i know its the DM's call, but he sort of wants us to decide whether to use one or not. one of our members is all for it, the other doesn't care, and i'm a little hesitant. it just doesn't seem like it needs a board. anyway, anyone done this? how did...

    D&D 2E AD&D 2e vs. D&D 3.x (and maybe 4e)

    Hey, lemme just provide a little backstory. My group only consists of 4 people, and all of us are very close friends. we decided to keep it this way so we wouldn't have any munchkins or rules-lawyers. To be honest, the only experience we have with PnP rpgs is a D&D 4e demo that we played at some...

    Does a '+x' on a weapon add 'x' to your attack roll, your damage roll, or both?

    all in the title. I'm 99% sure it adds to your attack roll, but it was never clear if it added to your damage roll or not. if annyone can help me out, that would be great.

    Help me make a kit?

    yea, ranger's can get a few priest spells at level 8 or so. and darn, i haven't hardly read the DM's guide, so i didn't realize thaIt you needed magic to create magical items (although it makes sense :P) I'll just go with Ranger/Mage that Runesmith sounds really interesting though

    Help me make a kit?

    Hey, awhile back I asked EN Worlders about the possibility of an Elf Ranger/mage (thanks to all for the support, btw!). My group hasn't started playing yet, but will be soon, and I realized that I wasn't very interested in spells, so much as I was in magical item creation and usage. I thought of...

    Ravenloft Players, Please Help

    Well, this is embarrassing.... We're actually going to play Planescape. We originally chose 2nd Edition AD&D because we wanted to play Planescape (Although our only other choice would have been 1st Edition AD&D). After we bought our books, the price of planescape shot up to around 60 dollars...

    Ravenloft Players, Please Help

    Thanks so much Thanael! We were, admittedly, suffering from a deficit of sorts on exactly where to begin or what to do afterwards (we don't even have the black box yet though, so we aren't close to starting). All of these different resources and this advice should really help us kick-start our...

    Ravenloft Players, Please Help

    YEA! I've been trying to access this page for awhile now, wondering if they gave it only to DnD Insiders. Thanks man :) I'll look at the info to this Ravenloft II: The House of Gryphon Hill. If it looks like it's a module that doesn't need the campaign setting, i'll give this to my DM and we'll...

    Ravenloft Players, Please Help

    Thanks everyone for your help :) Yea, I agree that it seems more mysterious if the characters unkowingly stumble into Ravenloft. It seems like it would add a good deal of roleplaying to it, too. we might even have one player play a native who joins the other PC's for some reason, maybe acting...

    Ravenloft Players, Please Help

    By my standards I'd say you sound like quite the expert yourself ;) Thanks so much, that really answered my (few) questions about the game. One thing though: you mentioned something about the PC's being trapped. Is Ravenloft the sort of setting where you begin in another world and somehow get...

    Ravenloft Players, Please Help

    A few of my friends and I have decided to play 2nd Edition AD&D (We haven't played yet, because our DM doesn't have his books, but he'll get them shortly). Anyway, we were planning on playing in the Ravenloft setting through the boxed set Ravenloft: Realm of Terror. (It's by far the cheapest...

    D&D 2E 2e Ranger/Mage?

    they might with the right backstory (i see your logic though) thanks to everyone else who's responded, too. i think i'll try it out. if it doesn't work (RP purposes), i'll just play ranger. Also, Ranger/Clerics can't use swords, and elves get +1 with long/shortsword

    D&D 2E 2e Ranger/Mage?

    exactly my thoughts. Thanks! :D
