    NC Game Day XIII (April 21-22): aka "Mini-GenCon"

    Usually, my friend you would be correct. But you do not understand how outttreageouuuusssly bad our French accents were ;).

    Dealing with powergamers

    Sorry for not taking the time to read the entire thread, but I wanted to throw some advice in on the "limiting options" bit. I, too, have found that a good way to control the balance of the group is to allow everything from the PHB and all other things must be approved on a case by case basis...

    NC Game Day XIII (April 21-22): aka "Mini-GenCon"

    Sweet! Well, I will be there but I will not be DMing this year. Three months of work on Underoo was enough for at least two game days :). It sounds like there'll be 10,000 games that I want to be in and only three slots that I can make, so I'm going to be all player. Really looking forward to it!

    Providence, Rhode Island Gameday -- Nov 11

    I was going to ask this question but had a very busy weekend. If there were more games, how many people would there be to play in them? I'm happy to run something, and I could probably pull a player or two with me, but I'd hate to have a half empty game! NSCUCodeMonkey

    Is power attack damage multiplied on a critical hit?

    Really? So the extra strength damage comes from the fact that it is a two handed weapon, even if you're not wielding it with two hands? That's pretty cool. Does that apply with monkey grip as well? I.e. normally you'd need two hands to wield a weapon, but with monkey grip you can wield it in...

    Is power attack damage multiplied on a critical hit?

    Luckily, my halfling is one of three melee-ers and so far I've never had trouble finding an opening. Granted, our party usually fights multiple opponents, but ride-by attack (and copius shouting to allies to stay out of the way ;)) makes the re-use of charging lanes pretty easy. NCSUCodeMonkey

    Is power attack damage multiplied on a critical hit?

    Not really a "problem", I've just found that when I come across something in the rules that sounds too good to be true, it usually is :). I wouldn't have any problem with my DM ruling that he wanted to add the multipliers, but I can see that's not how it works by the RAW. Hasn't been a problem...

    Is power attack damage multiplied on a critical hit?

    Sweet. Well my lil' halfling paladin is going to have to get power attack (and an animated shield) real soon. For every 1 point he takes off his charging attacks, he'll be getting 6 extra damage! NCSUCodeMonkey

    Is power attack damage multiplied on a critical hit?

    Slightly different variation of the same question: assuming power attack damage is multiplied on a critical hit, how is multiplied power attack damage multiplied? E.g.: If a 4th level fighter weilding a greatsword two handed power attacks for 4, he adds 8 (x2) to his damage. When he criticals...

    That was totally me! My RL name is Matt, by the way, if you see me again, yell wildly since I'm usually in my own little world when I'm walking about.

    Providence, Rhode Island Gameday -- Nov 11

    I just now saw this...Apparently I need to read ENWorld more than once a month :). Erm, I'm not sure if I can commit to run anything, but I'm am most certainly interested. Calendar checking, wife asking, gaming group polling will need to be conducted. I'll check back in with results over the...

    Puzzles and Traps

    Mentioning Puzzles is like a summoning spell for me, apparently. First time I browse ENWorld this week and BOOM, here's this thread :D. Here's my spiel on puzzles: Puzzles can be a wonderful addition to a game or a horrible, four hour fest of frustration. I've seen both cases and I've inflicted...

    What's your favorite Mass Combat system?

    Hah, you're right about that one :). I downloaded it last night from DTRPG and I'm still reading through the parts that I'm interested in. What I do like about it is that, although there are a lot of options, I think the core rules for running a combat can be distilled into a pretty short...

    What's your favorite Mass Combat system?

    I don't think it's actually a link, it just highlights when you move over it. Copying and pasting the link into the location bar did the trick for me (or click here :)).

    What's your favorite Mass Combat system?

    Yeah more detail would be awesome. And thanks for pointing out that it's on DTRPG, my FLGS was fresh out.

    What's your favorite Mass Combat system?

    Awesome :). And diaglo, you didn't even need to clarify the year. There's only one true Chainmail, especially when it's coming from you :).
