Leif's "Pomarj" Greyhawk Beta Game [AD&D 1E] [OOC 01]

[Leif]

Cool new social group that I just found:

EN World: Your Daily RPG Magazine - Oldschooler's

[Lynda Lawless evidently found it some time ago, but diodn't see fit to share it with me. ]

 

[Insight]

I forgot how woefully incompetent 1st level AD&D characters are.

Jeez.

Heh. So did I, apparently.

[nevermind]

I'll give Raggs a chance to dislodge the bar across the door from where he currently stands -- it'll be the equivalent of an Open Locks attempt, with a +25% bonus.

WOW

Just... wow

I have never had such pitiful die rolling in my entire life.

What does the EN World Die Roller have against me?

lol. Don't feel bad Insight. Apparently Raggs blew all of his "good rolls" on our first combat...now? Broad side of barn...meet face!

Not to mention, the rolls for using thieves' abilities! lol.

S'all parta the charm of playing online, I suppose.

Does anyone else note the rich irony that Amaya, who has not been able to BUY a frickin hit ere this fight, scored not one but TWO hits and slew the beastie?

"Part of the charm," maybe. Just harder to cheat, probably.

What ?! Even Iono missed with a roll of 14 on post #264
I saw that Amaya striked true with a 14 roll.

That's one of the vagaries of 1E AD&D as opposed to 3.5E D&D: Different classes have different attack matrices. Fighters, Rangers, and Paladins hit AC 6 with a 14. Clerics, Druids, and Monks need a 14 also. Magic-Users and Illusionists need a 15. Thieves and Assassins also need a 15. Look at page 73 of the 1E AD&D DMG.

And, before you ask, Raggs is a Fighter/Thief and so attacks using the Fighter matrix.
