Initiative:

We will be using an IGO-UGO system - more commonly known as group initiative. All characters on a side act before it's the opponent's turn.
Special initiative benefits will affect Armor Class instead, depending on GM's whim.
Players will have the initiative, unless the monsters get surprise.
All characters act in the order of posting, but you wan specify Readying an action to go off at a later time before your next action.

Feats will be used.

Time limits

You can specify actions for several combat turns in advance.
Combat turns will go as fast as possible. If necessary the character holding everyone back will act on impulse that round. This is particularly likely if it's been more than 48 hours after the GM post, and the whole group waits for one player.
Please be able to post 3-4 times per week. More is better.

Post formatting

Please use present tense.
Colour your character's speech.

For olnine reference I'll be using this site.

This is just for flavour in combat. No hit location does anything special. There is no game effect. These tables are lifted straight from 2nd edition AD&D.

Roll 1d10 to get the location struck; if significantly shorter or attacking from below, 1d6; if taller or attacking from above, 1d6+4.

Grid movement (page 192) is in effect. Each square is 5 feet.



When you move, state all squares you move through. e.g.

C19-D18-E17-E16-E15-D14-C14

or use starting square, directions, ending square

C19-ne-ne-n-n-n-nw-w-C14

30 feet movement = 6 squares
25 feet movement = 5 squares

you cannot cut corners of a map feature that fills entire square.


A can't move to 1, but has to move through B first.

It takes 4 squares of movement to get from B to x.

Please put your location, HP, AC, statuses/conditions and reaction intentions on a private line at the bottom of your post, e.g.

Please also roll for your reaction attack/action if you ready one.

If you have plans for the next (or next two) turn, please also put those as well as your rolls in the private lines.

e.g.

[ private to GM : Location:G10 AC:14 HP:15 reaction to any rogue trying to slip past, with dagger hit AC12 for 3 damage. status: -
Next turn: advance to nearest orc, Hit AC 18 for 4 damage. Reaction: Hit Ac 15 for 3 damage]

The question of crafting magic items has come up in some PMs.

CRAFTING MAGIC ITEMS

Item Rarity	Creation Cost	Minimum Level
Common	100 gp	3rd
Uncommon	500 gp	3rd
Rare	5,000 gp	6th
Very rare	50,000 gp	11th
Legendary	500,000 gp	17th

An item has a creation cost specified in the Crafting
Magic Items table. A character engaged in the crafting
of a magic item makes progress in 25 gp increments,
spending that amount for each day of work until the
total cost is paid. The character is assuimed to work for 8
hours each of those days. Thus, creating an uncommon
magic item takes 20 days and 500 gp.

Multiple characters can combine their efforts to
create a magic item if each of them meets the level
prerequisite. Each character can contribute spells, spell
slots and components, as long as everyone participates
durng the entire crafting process. Each character
an contribute 25 gp worth of effort for each day spent
helping to craft the item.

Roll the usual way. If it's lower than the fixed amount (half hit die + con mod) you can have the fixed amount instead.

Holy Water. As an action, you can splash the contents of this flask onto a creature within 5 feet of you, or throw it up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. In either case, make a ranged attack against a target creature, treating the holy water as an improvised weapon. If the target is a fiend or undead, it takes 2d6 radiant damage.

The text on improvised weapons is a bit unclear, but I'll let any class that can throw anything (lol) use the proficiency bonus for attack rolls with this.
