The first few pages and the OP are kind of irrelevant, but on the last pages are a few DMs offering groups for willing players. Finally getting some activity in that thread. Thanks of course goes to the DMs  | ||

I would have wanted to be a lvl 5 wizard in that battle. Yes, dear god yes. That would have taken care of a good 40 or 50 goblins. | ||

Was it town's gold, anyway? Kind of seemed like goblins were after it for some reason. Anyway, Vincent should attack high HP opponents last, so they can be damaged and he can more easily power up the sword. | ||

If he hit, he damaged them and others finished them off. If they'd attacked in a different order, he would've charged up sooner. | ||

I don't know, evil doesn't have to be obvious, and he doesn't have to be evil all the time. Generally, I think evil people tend to do things that benefit them; evil isn't a synonym for mindlessly rampaging, killing people and pillaging. Look at Dalamar. Since they're on the hit list for half the country, if I were evil I'd probably do more good than evil for a while, to try to at least lessen the blow. Otherwise you never know if you'll get randomly killed by some guards/soldiers. When you fix that situation, you are free to do whatever you want (well, within reason). A couple of hundred gold isn't that much to them. So I think that benefited him in the long run. | ||

And they still would been praised for saving a lot of people. On an other note. I doubt this whole " We do good stuff so that our evil acts will be forgotten" thing will work. Perhaps they will a pass with people like Captain Silver but i doubt the nobility will forgive them. The only thing they can do is to go to places that don't care about Lord Fang and are not allied or related to him. Or to keep a low profile but that is difficult with a half Oger. | ||

On a side note, Tudagub was in melee range for a large portion of the goblin fight, tanking dmg. Should casting spells in front of enemy mobs open him up to Attacks of Opportunity? I imagine spell casting to involve a lot of arms waving around and gibberish being muttered, with his defenses completely down. Unless the spells are all instant speed spells? Correct me if I'm wrong, not too familiar with the intricacies of Attacks of Opportunity. | ||

Especially when compounded with the decapitation of Brightblade. Once word spreads, both those deeds would probably be enough for a point of no return, regardless of how many good deeds they try to accomplish. Not to mention, it wasn't like they only killed Feng. They killed the town Alchemist and when caught and put on trial, dishonored themselves by not accepting the results of the duel. They murdered an unarmed Feng where he stood, used him as a human shield and killed a bunch of guards and horses during the getaway. I'm sure at this very moment, the imaginary NPC's are printing out FBI Most Wanted Posters. On a side note, Tudagub was in melee range for a large portion of the goblin fight, tanking dmg.

Correct me if I'm wrong, not too familiar with the intricacies of Attacks of Opportunity. If i recall correctly there are no Attacks of Opportunity in DnD 2nd. Some of that stuff is handled by making stuff harder, you get a pretty big malus if you try to fire a bow in melee, for example, and enemies get a bonus on targets without a melee weapon. The game is also a lot less grid-based tabletop then DnD 4th. I know that in the Baldurs Gate series the problem with casting spells in melee is that you can get disrupted if you get hit, but i don't know how the base rules handle this problem, or how the modified version they use here does it. But a few pages back Neal also stated that they don't have attacks of opportunity. | ||

he is playing a heavily modified and house-ruled 2nd edition... how many times are we going to say "that shouldnt be there" or "those dont exist in that edition." before we understand that he is the DM and can make the game do whatever the fuck he wants as long as his players are enjoying it.... | ||

The question was 'is there a thing where casting spells causes attack of opportunity'. Without knowing what the rules are we can extrapolate what they might be. No one is saying he can't do anything, or something was wrong. | ||
