[OOC] Constables of the 14th Ward

[Maidhc O Casain]

Sorry about the rough start - wasn't really on my game last night. Scott/Leif, I didn't do much with description - I'll try to do better. I like the posting of the die rolls in spoilers - it cleans up the descriptive part of the post nicely.

No worries. I agree keeping the posts clean of mechanics looks good and improves readability of the action. I would encourage everyone to use spoilers, but I wouldn't require it.

With the DMs's indulgence:

Xedr: D20 can be a little complicated at first, I remember when I first converted a campaign... You are confusing iterative attacks(multiple attacks with a single weapon) with the two weapon fighting rules.

Fighters get their second iterative attack at level 6. At that point first attack is at full bonus, 2nd attack at -5. You use -4/-8 only for two-weapon fighting (which of course you are free to do at any time).

So unless the DMs rule otherwise, you get one attack at your full bonus, which you can decrease to turn into damage with power attack (as the DMs had you do)

Hope this helps!

 

[Scotley]

Thanks for the assist Helfdan, your explanation was much tidyer than the rather verbose post I made in the other thread. Quite rightly, the question should have been answered over here anyway.

 

[xedr]

Thanks guys. I'll go back and read the handbook again to see if I can figure out how I missed the discussion of iterative attacks. And I'll read up on saving throws again while I'm at it...

I posted this info in a separate thread as well, but in case people don't read all the boards I figured I'd put something here too. I'm headed out to Oregon for a week- though I expect to have at least some internet access, I won't have most of my books. I'll try to not slow things down too much, so that Thea doesn't get turned into rat snackies.

 

[Scotley]

Thanks for the heads up. Have a great trip.

Just wanted to say:

Great start to the game, Leif and Scotley.

Having tons of fun, even though Rahvin is not doing so well

The combat is developing quite nicely. Everyone seems to be doing a great job, making interesting posts... keeps me checking the thread over and over again during the day.

Nice touch adding/editing everyone's posts into a coherent thing for the round. Good job, DMs!

Keep it up, everyone. I think this game is gonna be great.

Thank you so very much, Sir! I wholeheartedly agree with your observations about all the interesting posts from all the players. Our ideas would not be as interesting without the vital contributions from all of the players, and Scotley and I are highly gratified that all of you are so generously lending us your efforts to make the game a success! Bravo one and all!!

 

[Lou]

Agreed!

Hear! Hear!

The start to the game is going great!

I am looking forward to more flashbacks to fill in the group knowledge of being a
constable in the 14th Ward.

One quick question: Should our characters in the Rogues Gallery be updated at any sort of interval? I see that some added in the campaign bonuses already.
