Chronology Hey folks I've been flipping through my WLD recently, contemplating a run at it, and I decided I'd really like to get my hands on a chronology of the dungeon - there's lots of references to "two years ago", "ten years ago", "fifty years ago", etc., and it would be useful to pull...

Heya - interesting to see this. I've posted about it on Gametime, a New Zealand RPG groupblog. You can find that here: gametime: Maori mythology in D&D terms

The Big Night comes with hand puppets. But I think that's the only other one :-) (This cool game was run by its creator, Allan Dotson, in the kids room at GenCon in '05 (and maybe in '06 too but I wasn't there in '06). It's a fantastic game for kids - if you have little potential gamers...

D'oh! I was talking about this also over on my most usual stomping grounds of RPGnet, and discussion there actually convinced me that the conclusion here was wrong! A user there said that there were two rates of Stealthy movement - a Stealth Walk, which can be maintained forever, and a...

Absolutely right, good catch. I think I finally understand this now! Thanks everyone who's looked at this!

Okay, I think I just figured out a way to say why this is bugging me. Let me flip it around... You are the GM. I'm playing a rogue. My normal walking speed is 30 ft./round. In an encounter I can step up to a hustle, 60 ft./round. I want to go through some rooms hiding and sneaking, which...

Okay, this starts to make some sense to me. Lidda is taking a double-move action - hustling while trying to make no noise. The Listen exemplar is taking a single-move action - walking while trying to make no noise. So, the inconsistency is that Lidda is taking a double-move action, and the...

So, anyone else? At the moment, I'd just be happy with someone saying their rulebook says what my rulebook says. We can argue about what that means later.

This is how I've always played it. The problem I've discovered is that it makes example DCs in Listen nonsensical. Here's the quote again: "Listen DC 10: An unarmored person walking at a slow pace (15 ft./round) trying not to make any noise... the indicated DC would be their average check...

Like I reference in the earlier post - p162 of the PHB. Table 9:3 has Movement rates per round. For a 20 ft. speed person, they can Walk at 20 ft. per round and Hustle (double move) at 40 ft. per round. Which is fine until you get to the Lidda example, where 20 ft. per round counts as 'half...

Hey everyone, there might be an obvious answer to this but I'm tying myself in knots over it. Checked the latest official FAQ and did a google search to no avail, so if this has been resolved before I apologise... I was giving a close read to the rules for Hide and Move Silently vs. Spot and...

Thanks everyone for your info and advice - I guess this thread is pretty much done!
