The better we can learn not to do what he did, of course. Not beacuse we like hearing about other people screw up or anything, no sirree...

*ahem* Yeah, after a 5 year hiatus between ADnD and 3.0, I rolled up a fighter. And somewhere along the way decided that BAB added to both attack and damage. Heh. Boy was my face red when my DM pointed out my mistake; he was wondering how my 6th level fighter was doing 1d8+12 damage with a mundane longsword. Oops!

On the topic of how hit points are rolled, my players are allowed to chose to reroll on a lower dice.
Eg, fighter rolls a 4 on a D10. He then chooses to reroll on a D8. Then D6, D4 and D3.
It seems to work for us.

Anyone else allow their characters to "Partial Run, Partial Charge" in 3.0?

Ugh...

Well, turn about is fair play, especially with the 3.0 scorpion... : P

 

[Thanee]

Which is, er, the way I describe it in my post in the first place

Oops!

Missed that part... Sorry! I was too afixed to the earlier comment, where the other poster said, that it could change the hp total to a lower one, I think!

Bye
Thanee

For a long time after 3E came out, we though that you needed to roll a concentration check to cast a spell if you took any damage in the previous round.

"Okay, Jozan, you got hit with 4 arrows for a total of 21 points of damage last round. Make a DC 31 concentration check."

"DC 31? Um...I'll just wait till next round."

A friend once tried to convince me that, in 3.0, you could take a 5-foot step with Great Cleave!

Technically you can do this if it is your only movement for the round. You may take a 5 foot step before, during, or after any one of your multiple attacks. 3.0 PHB page 124 under Full Attack. So if the individual had not already moved before beginning the cleaving, then he is still entitled to a 5 foot step under the rules.

Back in 1E, the PHB had the Hit Dice for characters listed like this...

Level HP
1 1d10
2 2d20
3 3d10
//break//
9 9d10
10 9d10+1
(I think that's kinda how it went)

Well, we assumed that we rolled dice EVERY time.
So when you went from 3rd to 4th level, you rolled 4d10 (for a fighter)
We had UNREAL HP totals...

Meepo The Mighty,

I tried to email this to you, but could not get that to work.

Here are two images that are sized just right for your avatar. I am not sure why you chose your avatar as Milhouse, but if it was b/c you didn't have (or didn't want to take the time to make) these images, then here they are!

I just thought you might enjoy having a Meepo avatar, since you are Meepo The Mighty.

Thanks...I had one of those two as my avatar for a while, but decided to change it up with Millhouse...everyone's favorite nerd.
