Astrid is correct, no save for sleep. Some races, elves and half-elves among them, have some natural resistance.

5 down, get them while they sleep!

That's always been the big deal of that spell;  and it's been pretty constant across editions, I think.     In AD&D, it was always the 1st level MU's chance to do something significant, with their one spell.

It's the only 1st level spell that's like that.   Balanced, I guess, because the hit die limit leaves it less & less useful as you level.

But a life saver, at low levels.

Yes it is, non-MU dis it, but they're fools

Ah yes; fumbles... I remember when that rule got arbitrarily placed into D&D, back in the 2E era.

Chaosium had a whole chart for it;  AD&D DMs would just invent things.  Like an archer shooting themselves in the foot.

We used charts from other systems. The Arduin Grimoire had a fun list, as did Role Master.

Never played those;  Role master still seems to have a group of people that remember it, fondly.   I hear it brought up time to time.

In reply to Astrid Silverveil (msg # 298):

Arduin Grimoire wasn't really a game they made accessories killer traps mostly, meant to be lethal.

Well god, don't tell Captain H about it!    ;)

Incorrect, the Arudin Grimoire was a complete roleplaying system, with a very rich world. We played it back around 1978. Loads of fun. Had a great sense of humor.

I stand corrected, the trap books are all I ever saw.

So...

Are we waiting for you to do that wrapup or are you waiting for me to do something again since it looked like two rounds went by, not one, from when I first intended my post to go up?

:D

In reply to Kossoth Zan (msg # 303):

You need to catch up, anybody else that isn't caught up needs to catch up too.

Cool will toss up another now...

Catch up to what round? I am a bit lost as well.

2 rounds of combat have occurred.

Kossoth let loose arrows in the 1st and continued moving to loose more arrows in the 2nd now.

A quick look back shows 1st round Ulle shot arrows, 2nd round he took out his axe and swung.

So you should be good to go.

In reply to Ulle (msg # 306):

Everyone make sure they posted 2 rounds of action. I will summarize then attack with the orcs, or what ever then it will be parties turn again. I got ahead of myself.

Thanks Kossoth. Got a bit confused. We should be able to track these Orcs back to their camp, if we want.

In reply to Ulle (msg # 309):

Yup, they're too busy running to hide their tracks. You chasing? The guards aren't.

Not sure if we have a leader, really. Ulle is certainly more than willing though.

How many of the 14 who charged are left after Dain kills one in Round 2?

In reply to Dain Strongaxe (msg # 312):

Including the five down sleeping, 3! They're running! They bit off more than they could chew!

In reply to Astrid Silverveil (msg # 314):

Cool! HUMOR IS FANTASTIC!

Ack! That must be from the 1977 Rankin and Bass thing, right? Is that an Orc?
