[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 5237387, member: 12460"] [sblock=Regarding Posting Actions]For most combats, I like for you to post your next three intended actions, along with rolls as necessary. For instance: round 1: attack nearest monster with bow round 2: engage nearest monster round 3: attack monster with sword contingency: if below half hp, drink potion of healing instead of above Then post two attack rolls along with damage rolls, one for the bow attack and one for the sword attack. If you get multiple attacks some rounds, be sure to take that into consideration. Note that in 1st edition, there are not a lot of modifiers to rolls. Unless you have exceptional Str and are a fighter, you probably won't have a bonus to your attack rolls. Just roll the d20 and I'll compare it to the chart for your level to see if you hit. Some weapons (like the longbow) grant a bonus to attack rolls and you might get a Dex adjustment for missile weapons. The only other common situation in which you need to modify your d20 roll is when you are wielding a magic weapon. But none of you have such a weapon yet. Thamior also gets a +1 adjustment on attack rolls with longswords, short swords and bows. There are even fewer adjustments to damage. Usually it is only for exceptional Str. I will roll any saving throws needed.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
