FYI i just bought FF12 and my posting might not be as frequent but i will try to get on least 2 times a day and check and post.

So, what about the game? - FF12, I mean. A worthy sequel to this long tradition of splendid games?

Swarms of Undead Creatures

For Turn Undead and swarms, I'm not really all that concerned about the Turn check result and I'm focusing on the Turn Damage result.

The idea is that when the undead creatures have a fraction of a hit dice, then the Turn check result will allow destruction not turning. The more important question is just how many undead creatures were turned.

For instance, in round 2, 18 hit dice of undead creatures were turned/destroyed. In this case the Zombie Bat swarms were closest to the party (as the fastest undead creatures), so at 6 hit dice each, three zombie bat swarms were destroyed (all of the zombie bats that you can see were destroyed).

I wasn't all that sure how you were going to run it, which is why I posted all the info.

Lalala, Dareios has got a crush on Lia...

I hope it's okay how I play this out.

I think its tons of fun but if you are a diehard, old school, dont change the gameplay person dont buy this title. They revamped the battle system to real time and you only control one at a time and your allies are on AI. The graphics are nice and so far the story is cool.

Well, I am currently playing FF4... So, maybe the new one is way too un-traditional for me...

I was following the development of the games via the web, but didn't have the chance to play it... But what you tell sounds more chilling than all those zombies we're fighting. Is the story any good, at least?

I think it's going to be fun.

Very nice. I always enjoy a bit of interaction with other players apart from the main story, though especially topics like in-game love interest can be tentative issues. Well, Dareios, timid as he is, will try behave like a true gentleman, in any case.

Endur, on one of your posts you aid one of the hits for someone else did no damage to to DR reduction correct? I always thought you did a minimum of 1 damage if its a hit regardless?

Granted, I am not the DM, but I believe the rules are as follows:

If you do, for example, 3 damage and the creature has DR 5, then no, you do no damage.

The minimum of 1 point of damage is if you have a negative to damage, like from a low STR - if you do 1d4-2 and roll a 2 on the die, you still do 1 point of damage, not 0.

At least, I believe that is how it works, although the second part above might be a houserule from my FTF group. I know the first part is in the RAW, though.
