Would that be West Virginia, West Bromwich, or West Kilbride????

Personally I think you're talking about West Kilbride.

gwaG

British people think its good in theory, Everyone else hates it

Well thats a tough one to call...if the guys with the high Dex do enough damage on the monsters then the low dex guys on their turn can move and finish off the monster. And score all the experience !!!!

And if he misses then the next lowest dex guy can move and take a shot at it too.

And remember you can always move 1 square in melee...so it might be possible to move and attack someone elses half dead monster.

Consider also opening chests during combat. i would consider a PC who moved and opened a chest would not have time to take anything...perhaps only one item ??. A round is 10 seconds.

I read something like your idea on dragonsfoot.

Some use a D12 plus dex bonus per character , and go in order.

Another idea (from Ian) was that the high dex guys can delay their action until after the other guys go ?

But i would prefer a simple system...to be honest as simple as possible...im a bear of little brain.

And DMing 6+ players will give anyone a headache.

Oh and remember..this is somethig Nemesis pointed out to me...when you level up you can add 1 to a stat.

If you add 1 to DEX at every level...you may find yourself at the top of the heap.

if you live long enough.

i would not advocate it either...but as i said , Mark spotted it after his first game.

Its all a matter of character building to your taste.

Back on "sequence of play".

Rolling 16 D12 for the battle against the skeletons in the Tomb of Kama would not have made the game more fun,
it would just have made it a slog.

Okay ...it was a slog...but would not have improved the action...just bogged it down.
So one roll for each side is still the easiest option in a large fight.

Maybe roll for initiative for sides ...and then a D12 + DEX bonus for the Drow to take their actions ???

Hmmmmmn

PS...........to Balrog : no need to PM me a copy of your posts to thread...it just means i have to read it twice.

I'm always open to any crazy idea anybody has on the subject.

How about we play russian roulette? the one who dies goes last

We roll on a d6 for inititive for roulette which we do to sort out inititive....

too complicated? lol

... fighting it out on the table. But a role for ini each round? And with the d12 + Dex bonus ....

LOL...by "luck and spice" you really mean, roll a 12, go first and steal the treasure .

You really are getting the hang of this Drow thing now Walter .

Here is another thought/topic...some of the crew are followers of Vaehraun.

The male Drow god that wants to put the men back on top ( ooo er missuss !!!)

How would you go about organising a revolution in Shanizar the Wicked ?

Good advice.

Though normally revolutions need popular support and a trigger event.

Dregz (Stuarts character) is a cleric of Vaehraun, so is obviously the cell leader/contact point with the rebellion.

Any ideas for a trigger event ?

How would Berun start a revolution ...would he want to ?

That could be an interesting side show to the Rievers activities.

(Most of the Gillotine stuff in France was after the revolution was successful wasn't it ?)

If you were lucky !!!

Or might go all out on a "witch hunt" for all enemies of their cult.

Which would get a bit scary .
