Chat Room Actions
((this is out of character speak))
::these are actions::
this is how a character talks
//roll-dice?-sides?
fill in the ? with numbers like 1 and 6 for 1d6 |
Attacking
when attacking each character rolls 1d20 then after you get the total say a 5 you add your attack bonus or acc say 2, which gives you a total of 7 now you compare that 7 to the opponents armor class or AC and see which is greater, lets say their ac is 3, then you hit simple right? I tie between the AC and the attack role goes to the attacker. a 1 is always a miss, a 20 is a critical (unless otherwise stated by weapon, or enemys type). Combat has now been broken down into two "phases" the first phase, Ranged, is where ranged weapons are fired the Ranged phase is always the first round in a combat each player who has a ranged weapon rolls initiative as a standard round, if one player doesn't have a ranged weapon the players who have them get a free attack. Next the Melee phase after the ranged phase of combat players are considered to have moved into Melee range and begin fighting, but players can still used ranged weapons. |

Races

Most humans are the ancestors of pioneers, conquerors, traders, travelers, refugees, and other people on the move.

Dwarves are slow to laugh or jest and are suspicious of others, but they are generous to those few who earn their trust.

Elves
Elves mingle freely in human lands, always welcome yet never at home there. They are well known for their poetry, dance, song, lore, and magical arts. Elves favor things of natural and simple beauty. When danger threatens their woodland homes, however, elves reveal a more martial side, demonstrating skill with sword, bow, and battle strategy. Elves are more often amused than excited, more likely to be curious than greedy. With such long lives, they tend to keep a broad perspective on events, remaining aloof and unfazed by petty happenstance. Elves are short and slim, standing about 4.5 to 5.5 feet tall and typically weighing 85 to 135 pounds, with elven men the same height as and only marginally heavier than elven women. they tend to be graceful but frail, with pale skin and dark hair.

Despite the demand for their skills, most gnomes prefer to remain among their own kind, living in comfortable burrows beneath rolling, wooded hills where animals abound but hunting is a very bad idea. Gnomes adore animals, beautiful gems, and jokes of all kinds. Gnomes have a great sense of humor, and while they love puns, jokes, and games they relish tricks- the more intricate the better. Fortunately, they apply the same dedication to more practical areas, such as engineering, as they do their pranks. Gnomes stand about 3-3.5 feet tall and weigh 40-45 pounds.

Half-Elves

These marriages end quickly as elves count years because a human's life is so brief, but they leave and enduring legacy-half-elven children. The life of a half-elf can be hard. If raised by elves, the half-elf grows with astounding speed, reaching maturity within two decades. The half-elf becomes an adult long before she has had the time to learn the intricacies of elven art and culture, or even grammar. She leaves behind her childhood friends, becoming physically an adult but culturally still a child by elven standards. Typically, she leaves her elven home, which is no longer familiar, and finds her way among humans. If, on the other hand, she is raised by humans, the half-elf finds herself different from her peers; more aloof, more sensitive, less ambitious, and slower to mature. Some half-elves try to fit in among humans, while others find their identities in their difference. Most find places for themselves in human lands, but some feel like outsiders all their lives. To humans half-elves look like elves, to elves half-elves look like humans (most call them half-humans). Half-elves range from under 5 to almost 6 feet tall, and weigh from 90 to 180 pounds. Half-elven men are taller and heavier than women, but the difference is less pronounced than that found in humans. Their actual looks vary as wildly as humans do.

In the wild frontiers, tribes of human and orc barbarians live in uneasy balance, fighting in times of war and trading in times of peace. The half-orcs who are born in the frontier may live with either human or orc parents, but they are nevertheless exposed to both cultures. Some, for what ever reason, leave their homeland and travel to civilized lands, bringing with them the tenacity, courage, and combat prowess that they developed in the wilds. Half-orcs are short-tempered and sullen. They would rather act than ponder and would rather fight than argue. Those who are successful, however are those with enough self-control to live in civilized lands, not the crazy ones. Half-orcs are as tall as humans and a little heavier, thanks to their muscle. A half-orc's grayish pigmentation, sloping forehead, jutting jaw, prominent teeth, and course body hair make his lineage plain for all to see.

Often they are strangers and wanderers, and others react to them with suspicion or curiosity.
