I noticed that when I was looking for another unrelated rule. I thought we played that way because some old computer game did it. EPT lists which weapons allow 3 vs 2. I like that as it gives a benefit to spears and short swords which otherwise are never picked.Hedgehobbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17606283586332210195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-69511070180098868172013-02-04T14:01:14.380-05:002013-02-04T14:01:14.380-05:00I do generally limit fighting in a corridor to jus...I do generally limit fighting in a corridor to just 2 characters. This is consistent with the AD&D space required stats for weapons like broadswords, battle axes, and maces.<br /><br />Some spells might indeed need modifications. Light is usable within a combat, in case something extinguishes your normal lights, you get immersed in water, etc. (for longer usage get the 2nd level spell). Tenser's Disc isn't in my OD&D game, so I hadn't dealt with it; probably need to increase that to some hours or a day.Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-36093420010883681792013-02-04T13:52:04.472-05:002013-02-04T13:52:04.472-05:00The best thing is when someone answers their own q...The best thing is when someone answers their own question, saves me from writing up the reply.

That doesn't seem too extreme. In fact, when dealing with contests of stat vs stat it's not quite enough.<br /><br />How do you use spells lasting a few minutes when time is measured in turns? Spells like Light or Tenser's Floating Disk become all but useless.

Does that mean that heavily armored fighters (AC 2 or so) have less of a chance to hit than a thief (AC 7 or so) or a magic-user? <br /><br />I was just re-reading last night the thread about a Holmes-only campaign and am presently working on a Moldvay-only campaign with as few changes as possible, but all of your suggestions look good. Keep up the good work!<br />phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772369666883240848noreply@blogger.com
