Ok, thank you. And I'm sorry it took me so long to get to that. I've been kind of busy this last week.

No problem at all. Folks, no need to apologize for not playing. A PBP is supposed to allow for busy people to slip in a few minutes of gaming every so often.

Well I have to say, I really am having a lot of fun so far. Thank you for that.

yeah, i'm loving my first good melee hit on a poor combat class, and getting minimum damage.

Does anyone want me to try the last resort spell and hope for a magic weapon result?

Considering that most of us are uninjured, I'd say we're not yet ready for a last resort. Of course, your guy is the one injured, and he may feel differently...

Also, thinking of taking damage, are we using the Hanging at Death's Door rules, where -10 is dead and 0 to -9 is dying and unconscious? It was made core in 3rd, but here it's just optional. Probably a good idea, in my opinion.

Doggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be...
Sigh... And now 4e as well.

Finally! That's a bit better. Btw, I'm adding 1 to my rolls on InvisibleCastle since these are kobolds and he's a gnome. It's a situational modifier, rather than something constant so I figured I'd save you the trouble of remembering it applies. Only works to hit, unfortunately.

Barshevy, can I recommend that you put the Spreadsheet and Combat map links in your signature?

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Is that a racial bonus?

I hope this doesn't confuse everyone : I'm going to backtrack on what I said about "to hit" rolls. Please roll with your bonuses (strength, magic, situational, etc.) I'll compare that number to your unmodified THAC0 (or THAC0 - enemy AC)

This will help me a lot.

Will do. Won't look pretty for the moment, though.

Do you want us to start that this coming round, then? Otherwise, the 12 that I rolled hit an AC of 6.

I'm quite confused at this point. I just know that you put the kobolds to sleep, then killed exactly one kobold.

Yes, +1 to hit kobolds and goblins is a racial trait of gnomes, just as the -4 to hit they impose upon "giant" type opponents is as well.

To what extent to you want us to show our work on to hit and damage?

This is what you said. I was just wanting to make sure. Honestly, it isn't my intention to confuse you. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, here. I have a modified THAC0 of 18, so when I roll a 12 (18-12=6) I hit an AC of 6. Again, I'm not wanting to confuse you, friend.

Just the total bonus. "1d20+4=15" or "1d6+3=4" for example.

You hit and killed a kobold (K2) in round 2. I recorded this on my private spreadsheet and on the party map, but did not note which round it took place. And I also forgot to add it to the summary of round 2, which made you wonder if it got counted. Then when you asked me of it, I went *bzzzt*.

I'm going to have to record the actions of everyone per round, which will help me avoid such confusion in the future.

All right, thank you for explaining it to me. I hadn't been up very long before I posted, so if I seemed a bit 'off' to you, then I apologize.

Oh, no, I didn't get that impression at all.

I also got you confused with Ashe, somehow. So yeah, I did a short-circuit there.

Actually, attacks on sleeping creatures auto-hit, and if we're out of combat auto-kill.

Hoondatha, regarding negative hit points and death, I'll go with the core rules and say 0 means DEAD.

Sorry.

BUT if you continue with a new character, all previous experience points from the previous PC carry over.

And because "0 is dead", I'll also stay away from the critical hit rules.

Experience points have been awarded. The spreadsheet has been updated to reflect that. Please check my math. Each player should get a base of 23 xp (no need to thank me) before a 10% bonus, if applicable.

Also, you'll need to double up on riders, unless you continue on foot. Ariton will refuse to share a saddle with anyone, on account of his injury.

Barshevy, I finally got my spare change calculated. Sorry it took a while, though thankfully it hasn't factored in yet. Nagrath has 14 gp, 10 sp, and 40 cp.

Also, looking over the spreadsheet, I see things got a little confused. My 100' of string turned into "Strike" and the poison got put down twice.
