Tell ush.

Its really embarrassing how much i know of D&D cuz of my crack addiction of Neverwinter Nights. And yes sir Cort, knowing what a "thaco" is a necessity of life or else you can go fling feces with the rest of the apes.

p.s. nothing beats a rogue/fighter/shadow dancer cuz hide in plain sight + sneak attack = teh hax

To Hit Armor Class 0. Best rule ever. For example say you have a character who has a THAC0 of say 15. You would need to roll (on a d20) 15 or higher to hit a creature, person, or object ("opponent") with an AC (armor class) of Zero. If you attack an opponent with an AC of 5 you would subtract 5 from your THAC0. So if you had a 15 THAC0 you would now need to roll a 10 or higher (on a d20) to hit your opponent. The reverse is true with an opponent with an AC of -5. You would add 5 to your THAC0. Therefore you would need a 20 or higher on a d20.

I'm cool.


Oh, and CB - 3rd Edition took out THAC0...

I thought you ate THACOs... Hmm... Guess I was wrong, huh?

 

[Samsara]

Is it just me or are Rangers the worst class ever? I mean they get their companion too late to be useful, their spells suck balls (and too little spells) and the dual wield forces you to stick to light armor.

cmon D&D spazoids prove me wrong.

Me and a few of my friends tried to setup a campaign where you could only be a Ranger or Druid...Needless to say, they all died rather fast.

I felt like being a prick and springing traps on them

 

[Samsara]

like i said shadowdancer is just plain abusive as they are invisible the whole time and nothing is more fun than having some chick play as a whore to distract the target while you surround him in negative energy traps.

I would like to play D&D, but I don't know where to buy a board or anything. And, I got lost around the first setence of the"THAC0" thing...

Still, I'm sure it's fun...once you get the hang of it that is.

 

[shutupandgoaway]

Never played it cuz i don't have geeky enough friends...kind of sad really. I've created my own pencil and paper RPs, and played one my friends brother created, but never played actual D&D. I've played NWN and Baldur's Gate, but never pencil and paper kind.

Sorry for double post but it took me a bit to go find my NWN post from ZG:


This is what you are missing, this is on a server i play on for like 24/7

http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~whoelse/Duaks.wmv

and the improved sequel

http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~whoelse/Duaks-Too.wmv

btw you can right click and save cuz i know for a fact that N_ will watch the second one for hours on end.


heres my second post:


Heres a pic that is bound to scar you for a while

and the story behind the following pics are it was the last day of beta on a server so to celebrate i went streaking with a pink antler helmet.

oh and they WERE guys if you didnt notice. just that there arent many girls that play "evil" ppl on the server i go on.
oh and its free like Bnet and its alot like D2 but very different...lol.

well me and Kaldaris are off to go spaz on it again so cya.

 

[DB]

Is it just like DnD but on the computer?

 

[Samsara]

depends on the server you go on. for kicks go to the "roleplaying" servers and log in as "winky blitzin legendary high lord of the uber-mega elves" and ask around if anyone has seen your magic trouser snake.

 

[FuLouZero]

I never heard of Dungeon and Dragons, Never Seen it, dont know what you do. Please inform me on this mysterious game

You're basing your entire asessment of the edition one Thac0? That's pretty stupid. 3rd edition is so much more solid than 2nd was. It's easier to play; campaigns just go smoother. Not to say that I wouldn't play 2nd again if the chance came up, but there's no way 2nd was better.

And eh...pretty much my entire party now is composed of rangers and we kick ass.

 

[DigitalElite]

I understood the THAC0, so I ask, a lower THAC0 is better?

Lower THAC0 means lower # required on dice to hit, so inturn, yes.

Oh, and CB, that's not the only thing I base it off of, but it's one of the big things

 

[drax]

I saw the second video, but the first one wasn't working for me. So, in NWN do you control just 1 person, or can you have more than 1 person at a time?

Ummm... I want to paly D&D, but I don't think anyone where I live plays it... but where one of my friends moved to, they have a BIG group of table top RPG players, including D&D palyers... I play Neverwinter Nights/SoU/HotU if that counts...

~edit~hey, if we have 5+ NwN players, then maybe we should start a guild...
