We'll leave all the rolled hp "as is" for now.verhaden wrote:I updated my character sheet to reflect the changes. My rolled HP was 1+2 (+2 con) for a result of 8, but the rules now reflect 1+3 for fighters--should I just add 1 or do you want to re-roll? Or keep as is? Any is fine with me.
Agreed. I like the "chance in 6" based on abilities conceptually, but it's not worth the extra effort for the ref in a PBP. Compared to the "4 in 6 for class feats, or 2 in 6 otherwise" method, it usually amounts to either no difference or only a 1 in 6 difference anyway.verhaden wrote: Class vs. ability score chances of success: I've found that ability score chances of success for feats has worked well at the table for me, but I understand how bothersome it can be in a PBP format, where the players are unable to call out their respective chances.
Mads' Cold Iron Axe has always been a battle axe. It is designed to be used single-handed, but there's no reason it can't be used two-handed by a Dwarf.sulldawga wrote:Where does Mads' Cold Iron Axe fit into the new weapon damage rules? Is it a pole axe? A battle axe?

Is there any mechanical reason to do so?
Using a suitably sized one-handed weapon (e.g., a battle axe or sword, but not a hand axe or dagger) with two-handed means a PC is less likely to drop his weapon if struck by surprise (he would have to fail two rolls instead of one). Additionally, his attack adjustment is increased by +1.

And it's possible to be used one-handed by Dorgan, if he so wishes?
Fighting with two weapons (main gauche/droite) will improve frontal AC by 1 pip.sulldawga wrote:Any rule allowing bonuses to defense if fighting with a 'main gauche' in the off-hand, rather than a shield?
