No need to apologize. It's Alwyn's actions I still need. Hopefully apeloverage will check in soon. I would prefer not deciding for him, because it's unclear to me what his plans are.

Not to be nitpicking on the berserker rules but when I reduced my 5,6 roll to 5,5 in round 2 I was working on my interpretation of the statement at the bottom of page 13. How does this work?
"If a berserk character does not naturally meet the condition for going berserk on
subsequent rounds, the dice roll will be adjusted to meet the conditions. The second
lowest die roll will be reduced to the same as the lowest die roll in order to form a
double. (Example: A berserk Morningstar user rolls 5, 4, 3, 2. The 3 would be changed
to a 2 for an initial total of 13 and the player would re-roll the double.) A character with
a one die weapon will start with a 6 for his or her first roll."

I've updated the PHB. Spell levels 1-12 are now covered and I've integrated the house rules and clarifications. Brilliant! But where is it? I've checked your website and the original version is still posted (spells to level 5, no/limited housing).  |

No, I'm ready to concede the point - amazing! I have overplayed the makeshift staff forever - literally since day one many many years ago! But the makeshift staff as magic battery isawfully potent - like too potent. Don't want to hold up the game - will utilize the staff as it is designed to be used - sorry for the hold up. Yep, Makeshift is just a short-lived Staff Ordinaire. For 1 casting point it's worth it's weight in Kremm - but only if you can't afford a 'real' staff/focus. I'm sure we couldn't... |

That's for when you've already gone berserk (from rolling a natural double). If you don't happen to roll a double on the next round, the dice are adjusted so that you can keep on being berserk. |

I'll be out of town from Sunday, August 30 to Sunday September 6. I'll likely be able to post every other day during that time.

With respect to the Vorpal Blade spell, does it only double the result of the weapons dice or does is also double the weapons adds? I've seen it played both ways.

The 1st ed. text says, "doubles basic attack die roll". I've takent that to mean double the number of dice rolled, i.e. a person with a 2 dice weapon rolls 4 dice. But of course it could mean, double the result of the die roll, as well or double dice and adds.
But last time someone used a vorpal blade I think we just doubled the number of dice rolled. What do you think?

5e says 'doubles basic attack die roll'.
I suspect the intention is that it doubles the total of weapon dice plus weapon add but does not apply to the character's combat adds...

OK, I think we'll go with Hogscape's interpretation. The result of the weapons die roll (including weapon adds) is doubled. This means that Charles attack is doubled twice this combat round!

It makes sense - VB is a first level spell so very handy for first-levellers but a mere drop in the ocean if you have 30+ combat adds of your own.

Map with GM room numbers: Double awesome... Any chance? Do you mean that Salass00 should number his map arbitrarily, or that I should reveal the numbers according to my key? Has anyone by the way recognized the dungeon map? I've made some changes to it, but I did not draw it myself. I have been waiting for some know it all old schooler to recognize it.  |
