That baby should have 1 health.

1d4 hit die, maxed for first level. Then, minus 3 for his 4 CON.

Diaper of health +1
User avatar #19 to #17 - woonanon (08/09/2012) [-]
Of course.

He took a houseruled class called human with 1d6 HD, and took a houseruled flaw that gave him +2 Charisma in exchange for -1 health.

It's true.

I have come from *********** to heavily approve of this channel.

I've always wanted to get into DnD, but it's not really a 'thing' here.
I'd love to know more about it though.

I've been DMing games for a solid five years now. It doesn't seem to really be a thing here but I'm obsessed with it. What do you wanna know?
User avatar #3 to #2 - ewowo (08/08/2012) [-]
Just tell me about the game. What do you need to get started, what does it take to be a Dungeon Master?

And incidentally, have you tried Magic: the Gathering?
User avatar #4 to #3 - fieryphoenix [OP](08/08/2012) [-]
All you really need to get started is a set of polyhedral dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 and d20), character sheets (free pdf here: [url deleted] and the core rule books (Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master Guide and Monster Manual - about $40 each, or torrents).
Also, yes I have.

Will DnD for dummies help? xD A friend of mine has it somewhere.

Another thing to consider is which edition you want to get into. Personally I think that AD&D is ridiculously complicated, while 4.0 is simplified to hell. 3.5 has been my favorite so far.

Thanks for the tip.

For an online player's handbook, look here: www.d20srd.org/

For a player's explanation of how things are done, check here: http://doaspotcheck.blog spot.com/p/ive-never-played-d.html

Thanks :D!

4E has always gotten a lot of flak for being overly simplified but I think it gives much more freedom to both the DM and players, both beginners and people who've been playing for years. For beginners (like ewowo) 4E would be perfect because it's so simplified, and for people who played 3.0 for years, it makes it much easier to make house rules and exceptions etc.

The thing about that is that it makes combat a lot more tedious. There are fewer things you can do, there's no suspense in rolling your defenses, instead your saves are a flat AC. And there's not just one "attack". Instead they have several "moves" which is arguably more complicated for a newbie.
User avatar #7 to #6 - fieryphoenix [OP](08/08/2012) [-]
Lol I'm sure it would, but the PHB has an intro that explains everything about the game in a really basic way. Essentially DnD for dummies, without the big yellow cover.
User avatar #12 to #7 - ewowo (08/08/2012) [-]
Alright, thanks! I may look into this once my MtG craze settles down a bit.

If you can't find anyone to play with, you could always play online.
myth-weavers.com/ 's forums are specifically designed for that, and you can make and maintain your character sheet on the site too, all for free.
PDFs of pretty much any book can be found by Googling "<insert book name> download" (4shared is usually good), and Myth Weavers has a built in rolling function for the dice.

I've never played online myself, but I'd be up for it some time if you do happen to want to try it.
User avatar #25 to #18 - ewowo (08/09/2012) [-]
Thanks, but I really wanna try it in real.

That baby is able to persuade like a master, without even knowing how to talk.

I play AD&D 1.0 and was wondering why his AC was so good with such a low dexterity. I am not a clever man.
User avatar #16 to #15 - thatnerdyguy (08/08/2012) [-]
You're just not used to the new stuff, that's all.
#20 to #16 - pineapplepeople (08/09/2012) [-]
Yeah, The armor class system in 1.0 means lower is better. It's confusing, but I've gotten so used to it 3.0 and above confuses me endlessly.
User avatar #21 to #20 - thatnerdyguy (08/09/2012) [-]
So I've heard.
Yeah, even small differences can be bad, so something like that must be a bitch.
#26 to #21 - pineapplepeople (08/09/2012) [-]
Not once you get used to it. You basically roll the dice, add your bonuses to hit, and use a to hit table to see what AC you hit.
