Random D&D Talk

Current Group2 Game Rules:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep Track of your own sheet as much as you can. Keep Track of inventory equip list, etc. Make sure you right down proper items, etc.

State Attack, and State The Target.
Need to know who you're targetting, and with what attack before the damage roll takes place.
So you don't say "oh that was my encounter" however this is a very lieniant rule as we are on the honnor code.

As well as any damage types should be stated as some monsters have resist.

Know who you're sharing Die with, or who you're after so the dice is thrown around quickly allowing the game to progress faster.

Exp: Exp is given if you are in the encounter, if someone goes off on their own They'll get more exp. then someone not involved in the encounter. Those not involved in the encounter get Half Exp of the encounter. (this rule is often ignored)

Keep as quiet as posible because its difficult to focus as a DM with so much going on and questions being asked. (ask someone else first might help this)

Though we have More Than One d20 roll only one at a time for an attack.

D&D is a game where you can do anything and everything, so please don't be offended by any in game theft. its character-character theft. In that same aspect home brew is able to be created on the spot though it may be improved later.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If a game night is called, and only one person makes an appearance, the game still goes on if that person wants it too, if two people show up, same, three, etc. etc.

If a skill says "Miss: Effect" and you use it and miss, that half damage expends the skill, if you don't do the half damage then you can still use the skill again. (unless other rules state you cannot)
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When you use a Daily power If your roll is 1-10 that power is expended on a miss (with the d20 attack)
When you use an Encounter Power If your roll is 1-5 that power is expended on a miss. (with the d20 attack)

When an attack hits 1/2 of the targets AC (the enemy has 20 AC and the attack against it is a total of 10) the weapon breaks.
When an attack hits 2x the targets AC (the enemy has 20 AC and the attack is 40) the armor breaks.

New Addition: If the attack is performed when you have some form of combat advantage over them, it MAY be deemed as a miss and the weapon is not broken, however that is up to the Dm, the Roll, and possibly a group assessment.

Broken armor Reduces its armor bonus by 1/2 -1 and removes all the magical properties.
Broken weapons are no longer weapons, they remove all their magical properties and are now improvised weapons (1d4 dmg)

For instance a broken +1 plate armor(8AC) totalling a bonus of 9AC removes the +1 magic to give it 8, then is cut in half to give it 4, then -1 to make the armor 3. Broken Plate armor has a defence of 3, and still has all the negative properties assosiated with it.

Broken items cannot be sold.(unless sold for scraps, but no one will ever really want them)

Items(magic/art) sold are sold for 1/5th the price they are. Basic items(random loots from monsters) are sold for 1/10th the amount.

Rule #1 is "Keep track of your own sheet"

its your character sheet, you can keep it @ the game-site or take it home with you, whichever you feel is more suiting. It is also your responsibility to increase the character sheets level and defenses. If you come across the sheet and it does not have half level included on the AC or other defenses, that is your own fault and no one else's.

This goes with the print-out skills that are often found, if you are level 7 but the skills printed in front of you are only up to level 4 that isn't the DM's job to print out newer skill-sheets if they do this it is kind of them but if not it is up to you to know your character.

Anyone can use Any Character Sheet, Group 2 has started to use the sheet below, because it can be printed out and filled in with pencil, meaning that a new printout isn't needed every other level.

Know your DM
___________

I play DM with an equality, if a bad character is trying to be bad, i'll give him the same ability's as a good player trying to be good.

Someone trying to steal who is good or bad will receive the same roll to steal that object, Regardless of purpose for stealing, if the good guy is stealing it to help save the city, or the bad guy is stealing it to sell. Its the same check, However i often make stealing items and ripping off people hard to do because i don't like to see it done.

So you're likely to have easier checks with diplomacy asking someone to do something, than trying to bluff them into doing it. Thats just how it ends up being, but its not too different.
(and its not the check thats different, i might ask you to bluff them 3 times, well you only need to do two diplomacy, But if you have bluff, odds are you got a Sh*tload of bluff so it doesn't make a difference)

Battles: I don't often play monsters to their full extent unless its a solo, or a custom. If i sent 10 non-minions after you, odds are they'll just be performing basic attacks, and basic maneuvers.

Miniatures: Often you'll notice that the figures are different depending on how powerful the creature is.

Spear = Weakest
Club = Second Weak
Big Sword = Strong
Cool looking = Strongest

Though if you want to know more about the monsters you can make a perception check to determine who looks different, and maybe some will even look stronger. Perception = minor action.
or nature/dungeoneering depending on the monster's origin.

Keep the music off, and pay attention to the game, if you're not here to play the game then don't come.


use ur imagination we'll do our best not to discourage any use of an imagination, Argueing with the Dm's ruling is fine but in the end its the Dm's call.

first few games will become weird and hopefully a routine will kick in.
