    Movement and Combat on a square grid map

    I know how to do it, I just didn't bother. I just wanted to do it quick like! If it was a more complex set of questions within the quote, I'd have taken the time. Sorry. Ok... I went back and fixed it. Happy?

    Movement and Combat on a square grid map

    Originally posted by Cyndre01 2 things: 1) In 3E the focus for traps is on objects, not areas. You can have floor traps, but usually a trap is on a doorway, a chest, a window, ect. If there is a floortrap beyond a door and the entire area beyond the door is trapped, then i would consider the...

    Movement and Combat on a square grid map

    I just bought a square grid map, and am going to run a dungeon module, but have a question. I can see in the players handbook, that a character threatens and can attack the four adjacent squares and the four diagonal squares, but what about movement? Can the characters move like a queen...

    2 players - what about NPCs?

    Alright, I'm not posting MY characters or NPCs here. Instead I have a question ABOUT USING them, for the people in the thread that know 'em best! Im about to DM 3rd for the first time. I'm running the Sunless Citadell module, and it says its, "Designed for a party of 1st level characters, or...

    DMs: Do you maintain NPCs in the player's party?

    Sorry Cloud... I just figured the best people to ask were the folks who care MOST about NPCs like the people in this particular forum. They offer NPCs, so I thought they might have some spiffy advice on using them. BAD me.... BAD!

    DMs: How do you decide which player gets to talk first?

    I have three very self-centered PCs in my campaign at the moment. When the chance to talk comes up, or the chance to make a "funny" comment... a random two or alll of them will try to blurt something out at once. They haven't decided on a leader for the group, in fact, the characters actually...

    DMs: Do you maintain NPCs in the player's party?

    We are hunting for other players, but in the meanwhile, we have two and a DM. We're having fun, but having two PCs isn't so hot. We thought of playing with more than one character per player, but... we feel the game loses too much intimacy. So, another option is adding some DM controlled...

    Weapon Finesse

    Nice! This guy is going to be a melee monster! He's actually a Rogue-Ranger with two short swords, weapon focus, weapon finesse, two-weapon fighting, ambidexterity, and a 22 dex. (He's a 7th lev elf with gloves of dex +2) Mithral shirt looks good on him too! Oh- I can't wait to get some...

    Weapon Finesse

    Heya experts! Need a quick ruling on Weapon Finesse! I have a ranger using two short swords. Thanks to two-weapon fighting he attacks with both each round. If he takes weapon finesse, can he use his dex bonus for both attacks? Yes? The PH says nothing about two weapon attacks in conjunction...

    Want some good SF&F book recommendations?

    Is Perdido Street Station up for the Hugo this year? Or was that last year? I know that book is relatively new, and that my members seem to be blown away by it. A few are claiming that it was the best book in the last decade- That it was extremely original. On the other hand, a few more members...

    Want some good SF&F book recommendations?

    Yes- It really has been a great mix of the two genres. Everyone reads only the ones they are interested in, and occasionally some get convinced into trying something new! Great for discovering new authors and sub-genres! Hugos... You know... I haven't really looked into any books from within...
