    [3.5] Power Attack - can this possibly be right?

    Note, that also power attack as a general strategy, increases variance for PC's: this is almost never a good thing, given that PC's are expected to win most fights. At first, when I saw the 3.5 power attack revision to 2H weapons, I wondered why, and thought it silly, and was going to say no to...

    [3.5] Power Attack - can this possibly be right?

    Luckily, things like average damage calculators exist (check the Electronic aids) section. +20/+15 (2d6+14, 17-20/x2) versus +15/+10 (2d6+24, 17-20/x2) yields a break even point of AC 23: when the enemy is AC23: he's indifferent to power attacking or attacking normally: he'll do an expected...

    Re: The Judge's apology. Thank you for the apology, Rune. I didn't feel like your analysis was unfair, but rather just sort of sad that a large amount of my effort just went to something that, in retrospect, was so obviously wrong. I felt embarassed that what to me, was clearly a result of...

    Quoting rune, who's quoting nemmerle from the first page of this thread: Rune, is of course, free to do how he likes, but I took this (which can also be interpreted as just a mild suggestion) as one of the constraints of the competition: to be able to cohesively tie together a bunch of...

    Sounds like a quite reasonable precedent to me to set. I thought it was a misspelling from the start, but came up with something interesting based on it, and well, you'll see tomorrow. Okay, I'm going thread-deaf from here on out. See you tomorrow!

    Whoa. I came back here after some procrastination at work to copy and paste the ingredients to send to my home email, and suddenly, my sacrificial /alter/ is gone! I can start over, I guess, but this editing of ingredients sabotages what I was doing pretty heavily.

    Re: Off Topic In order: Yes (the third arm part of it is pretty cool). Somewhat (I was introduced by various RL people from here). Not Sure (Can you send a picture?). Organization of any thing is kind of sporadic, and prone to lots of factors outside an organizer's control. I mean, a few...

    Rune, just so you don't worry, I realize there's no editing of entries. Although it's not stated explicitly, is it part of your expectation, that like previous Iron DM's, that games will be fantasy D&D?

    That's fine with me. Let us commence this fair and honorable competition. PS: Rune, what was your swiss bank account number again? PPS: Nemmerle, where did you keep your core books again? Not waterproofed, right?

    Good luck to everybody! Rune, if you're on a one-match-a-day schedule, then I could go today, although if it's a more expanded schedule, I still would prefer tuesday and such.

    By the way, Rune, I would prefer, if it's possible to not go till Tuesday, as it were, although Monday wouldn't be too bad either. If this is a problem, let me know.

    Yeah, I'm going to have to send out my black ops team to keep track of Rune's schedule and post an alert whenever he gets within 5 feet of a computer tomorrow. Although, of course, Rune could always take this one step better, and insist that tomorrow need not be the tomorrow which is in his...

    I think there will be updates coming soon, and I'm starting to get free enough to continue writing Lhovrik's diary, which I'll just post on here sometime this week. More cat abuse is imminent! :)

    I deeply apologize, but I am organizing a reunion for this weekend, and that explains my slow participation this week, and my inability to post till Sunday. After that, clear sailing! Again, sorry for the inconvienence.
