This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Benoist;421297OK I hadn't seen Cole's post! Edited my post accordingly. Actually, rolling high on initiative is the best - it basically determines when your opponents act in the round. So you act in Segment 4, and the monsters act in Segment 5.
I'm afraid I don't understand this. How is initiative being calculated? Maybe I'm dense.

Yeah, I was just razzing Cole for beating me to the punch by less than a minute.  :)

Look at OSRIC p. 120-121.

Basically, in this particular situation, there is no surprise roll. Both sides are aware of the presence of each other. Then, you basically declare general actions and spells. Then you roll for initiative: each side rolls a six-sider. Your result basically indicates when your opponent is acting during the round. So the higher your roll, the later in the round your opponents act, the better it is for your side.

You see?

Feeling left out :( Trying not to read too much to preserve the surprise, while still keeping track of when Tudd might get into some action is tricky :)

Hopefully someone will think of sending the basket with some warning side, or will warn you some other way, and you guys can devise a way to get there fast. Thinking of you (Tudd) and Nimten, in particular, since Smeads/lilaxe is busy right now.

Natural 20: I'm basically assuming you do max damage on your weapon die on a natural 20. This is the simplest houserule concerning critical hits. Speeds things up tremendously.

LOL This is so awesome.

I'm wondering about flaming oil though. I'm not finding clear indications about their damage. Personally, I would rule it as an initial 1d4+1 fire damage in a 5 foot radius burst from the point of impact (10 foot diameter), plus 1d4 possible damage to creatures covered in oil for each consecutive round, the flame lasting for 1d4 rounds.

What do you guys think?
