House Rules

#1 Post by ybn1197 »

Initiative
To determine the initiative order for a round of combat, roll 1d10 for each side in the battle. Normally, this means the DM rolls for the monsters (or NPCs), while one of the players rolls for the PC party. Low roll wins initiative.

I don't like that system as written and have always used the Reaction Adjustment as a negative number in initiative.

Holding an Action (from Player's Option: Combat and Tactics)

..., a character can choose to either hold or abort a combat action when his action phase arises. Holding an action simply involves delaying the intended action for one or more action phases.

If you're playing in this game, I'm assuming that you are likely familiar with AD&D's 2nd Edition rules, but for those that are not and/or those that are looking for specific information, here is a System Reference Document (of sorts). Enjoy! ;-P

And time just slips away

Oh
Running into nowhere
Turning like a wheel
And a year becomes a day

Whenever we dream, that's when we fly
So here is a dream for just you and I

We'll find the Sacred Heart
Somewhere bleeding in the night
Look for the light
And find the Sacred Heart"

Agreed. That one is definitely in my toolbox, just thought this one would be more useful for the current venue as it is fully searchable.

While I have most of the books at home, this is my go-to for information when I am posting on my lunch break at work.
