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...

b-b-b-bump

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...

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

Oh, lol, we won't be doing that then. Still, Ravenloft is the way we're going to go for sure. thanks everyone for helping us answer some questions!

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

exactly my thoughts. Thanks! :D

Hey, just a quick question. I was thinking that an elven Ranger/Mage would be a fun class to play, but it isn't legally possible (not even for half-elves). Is there any reason not to allow an elf Ranger/Mage? My group doesn't really care about stats (unless of course someone is very over/under...

welp, i just cracked open my player's handbook again and found the answer to all my questions in 'The Real Basics', lol. guess i just forgot after reading so many pages so quickly. also, rest assured, i wasn't HOPING for some sort of grid. i really really really like it this way. honestly...

YEA!!!! man, that sounds great. and yea, we're playin AD&D because we care about the adventure and story alot more than the actual combat. thanks so much man :D:D:D

ahhh, i think i'm starting to see. the only experience we've had with dnd is a 4e quickstart kit for like 5 bucks. we liked the roleplaying elements of it, but the long drawn out battles and useless 'powers' and stuff really didnt do it for us. also, we think the 2e campaigns and battle system...

hi, my friends and i are about to start playing ad&d 2e, but our dm doesn't have his books yet. anyway, i'm having a hard time wrapping my head around some things... 1)since we're using graph paper, how does it work?? i mean, as an elf, i can move 120 feet per round. if each square is 10 feet...
