SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Gabriel2;521744I can't find it again, so I'll just concede that my explanation was incorrect.

Don't sweat it - It's 1e initiative, piecing together the Dead Sea Scrolls is arguably less arcane (and often less contentious).  ;)


Dave Prata's A.D.D.I.C.T. helps, but even wading through that can be a chore:

I reiterate my original point: if you had a simple and straightforward mechanic for weapon speeds, it could be a useful addition to the game.

I have one but I normally don't use it for AD&D; it's for Holmes/OD&D/Moldvay.
Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can\'t understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We\'re not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck\'s sake. The plot is as linear as they come. If anything, the film tries too hard to fill in all the gaps. This guy must be a flaming retard.  --Mike Wong on Red Letter Moron\'s review of The Phantom Menace

Quote from: DestroyYouAlot;521319Actually, it's half again simpler than I posted - weapon speed is checked ONLY if the caster won (or tied) initiative.  If his side lost, he is attacked first, regardless.
Correct.

I ran a high Dex fighter who fought in leather armor with two weapons (usually a short sword and a spiked buckler) to take advantage of the surprise segment and weapon speed rules.

He was all about that first strike.
