Welcome Alex!

Had to switch back to the back-up computer and reload Windows so that the wifi issue got fixed. Was doing fine for a few days. Then, yesterday, all of a sudden, several of the keys stopped working... including the space bar! Made it very hard to post.

Also couldn't sign it to RPoL, so I'm back on my computer. Don't know if the wonky lines will come back or not, but probably have to not use it for too long a period at a time.

I don't know that well how I have to roll dice when I want to attack with my sword. Anyone some tips?

07:03, Today: Tom Wolf rolled 16 using 1d20+3.  To hit w/ Bastard Sword.
07:03, Today: Tom Wolf rolled 12 using 1d8+4.  Damage w/ Bastard Sword.

Here's how I got the above.

Just put in your mod in the first open space for a to hit roll and in reason for the roll what you are doing.

Change the d20 to dwhatever for damage and put in your modifier in that same open space.  and in reason for the roll what you are doing.

How do I know what my modifier is?
And is any of my options based on my character sheet?

In reply to Mista Faer (msg # 490):

If you are using a melee weapon like a sword, your modifier for both to hit and damage is based on your Strength.  Ranged weapons like bows and thrown darts and daggers are based on your dexterity to hit only.

18 is +3
16 - 17 is +2
13 - 15 is +1
6 - 8 is -1
4 - 5 is -2
3 is -3

Hello all, glad to be here. Hope Adran isn't the only who's going to fight the small creatures!

Headed camping for the weekend. Will be MIA through Sunday.

So if I have a strength of 13, my modifier is 1. So I have to roll a 1d20+1 to see if I hit, and than a 1d8+1 to see what damage I can bring?

Exactly.

Do I have to roll the dice twice for an attack or is one roll for hitting enough?

One roll for attack (unless you are making more than one attack) and one roll for damage (if you hit). It's usually easier to type both rolls into the dice roller, and then just ignore the damage roll if you don't hit.

I'm awake!  Work just got the better of me again for a little while.  We're all caught up... now, so am I.

Heads up.  I'm off to Charleston SC for the next few days.  I will have my phone and laptop to check in. Replies will be slow as it is vacation time.

Heya, Mista!  Anneth has a dagger she can loan you until you find something a little better-suited to you.  And a whip and short bow, if you'd prefer one of those instead.  Her mace went to Anya.

Great! I'll keep fighting with the sword for now, but when the fight's over I'll ask about it :)

In reply to Mista Faer (msg # 501):

Alright, great!  Ball's in your court on what 'Nettie hands over!

I'm gonna shine each light of my lantern thingumy at these guys when we're interrogating them.  I don't wanna do it now, for fear of awakening them.

sorry for being out for a bit.   RL issues.

No problem. Had the same thing this past week.

Heads up.  My mom had a fall a couple of weeks ago or so and hurt her knee.  Apparently the fall hurt her more than she realized or even wanted to admit.  I'm off to help her for the next couple of weeks starting on Saturday.  As usual when I travel I will have my phone and laptop to keep in touch.

In reply to Tom Wolf (msg # 505):

Hope she gets better!

Yikes, I too hopes she gets better!

I'm going on vacation until Sunday next week, so I won't be able to post.

What is the colour of the sky? Is it just like day on Mystara or is it more like a planet in outer space?

I'll be gone for the next couple of days, I expect to be updating the story around Wednesday.

work has been crazy.  is Mort still alive?
