[Nikos]

Ευτυχώς στην Τρίτη έκδοση των κανόνων τα πράγματα με την μάχη είναι πιο απλά.

1> Έχεις έναν αριθμό Armor Class πάντα θετικό πχ 25. To πως βγαίνει αυτό είναι με τον εξής τύπο 10+armor+ natural armor +dexteriry modifier+ αλλα bonus

Armor είναι η πανοπλία που έχεις πχ μια full plate δίνει +8

Natural armor έχουν συνήθως τα τερατα π.χ λεπια ή τρίχωμα

Dexterity mod είναι ένα νούμερο που δείχνει πόσο επιδέξιος είσαι π.χ αν έχει 10-11 dex τότε ο mod είναι 0 αν έχεις 12-13 είναι +1 κτλ. Βέβαια όσο πιο ογκώδης πανοπλία έχεις τόσο μειώνεται το Bonus αυτό. Έτσι π.χ μια full plate σου επίτρέπει μόνο μέχρι +3 dext mod ακόμα κι αν έχεις +20 ΄(λέμε τώρα )

Τα άλλα bonus προέρχονται από μαγικά κτλ.

 

2> για να σε κτυπήσει ο άλλος θα πρέπει συνολικά η επίθεση του να είναι 25 ή μεγαλύτερη( όσο και το armor class)

 

3> Το νούμερο της επίθεσης καποιου βγαίνει ως εξής:

d20+base attack+ Strength modifier+ weapon bonus

d20 είναι το 20πλευρο ζαρι που έχεις.

base attack είναι ένας στανταρ συντελεστής που έχει καθε χαρακτήρας αναλογα με το class του( μεγαλύτερο στον fighter μικρότερο στον wizard όπως καταλαβαίνεις)

Το Strength mod βγαίνει όπως το dex mod που είπα πιο πάνω

To weapon bonus είναι το +x που έχει το όπλο που κρατά ο χαρακτήρας π.χ +1

 

4> Αν σε κτυπήσει τότε ρίχνει το ζάρι που αντιστοιχεί στο όπλο που έχει π.χ d8 με τον εξής τύπο:

dx+ Strength mod+ weapon bonus+ weapon ability

To weapons ability είναι η ικανότητα που έχουν ορισμένα όπλα να κάνουν παραπάνω ζημιά π.χ αν έχουν φλόγες

 

5> Τώρα κάθε όπλο έχει και μια ιδιότητα του στιλ 19-20X3. Αυτό είναι το critical hit. Δηλαδή αν όταν κάνεις έπίθεση φέρεις 19 ή 20 με το 20πλευρο ζάρι τότε ξαναρίχνεις το ζάρι για επίθεση. Αν κτυπήσεις και πάλι τότε η ζημιά που κάνεις τριπλασιάζεται αλλιώς η επίθεση είναι κανονική.

Αν πχ θέλεις 15 να κτυπήσεις τον αντίπαλο

Με 19 πρώτη ζαριά και 10 δεύτερη έχεις μόνο απλό κτύπημα

Με 19 πρώτη και 16 δεύτερη έχεις critical hit

Αυτά τα λίγα. Δεν πιστεύω να έκανα λάθος κάπου αλλά αν ναι παρακαλω διορθώστε με( δεν έχω το βιβλίο μπροστά μου).

[mphxths]

ATTACKS

You can move and make a single attack. Making a ranged attack provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening

enemies (see below).

Attack Roll

To score a hit that deals damage on your attack roll, you must roll the target’s Armor Class (AC) or better.

Melee Attack Roll: 1d20 + base attack bonus + Strength modifier + size modifier = AC hit

Ranged Attack Roll: 1d20 + base attack bonus + Dexterity modifier + size modifier + range penalty = AC hit

Damage

If you score a hit, roll damage and deduct it from the target’s current hit points. Add your Strength modifier to damage

from melee and thrown weapons. If you have a Strength penalty (not a bonus), add it to damage from bows and slings

(but not crossbows). If you’re using a weapon in your off hand, add half your Strength modifier (if it’s a bonus). If

you’re wielding a weapon with both hands, add one and a half times your Strength modifier to the damage (if it’s a

bonus).

Armor Class (AC)

A character’s Armor Class (AC) is the result you need to get on your attack roll to hit that character in combat.

Armor Class: 10 + armor bonus + shield bonus + Dexterity modifier + size modifier

Hit Points

Hit points represent how much damage a character can take before falling unconscious or dying.

Attack Options

When attacking, you have several basic options:

Attack: You can move and make a single attack, or attack and move.

Charge: When making a charge, you move in a straight line for up to double your speed and then make one attack

with a +2 charge bonus on the attack roll. You suffer a –2 charge penalty to your AC until your next action.

Full Attack: Some characters can strike more than once each melee round, but only when making a full attack.

Other than taking a 5-foot step, you can’t move when you make a full attack.

SPELLS

You can move and cast a single 1-action spell. Casting a spell provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening enemies (see

below).

SAVING THROWS

When you are subject to an unusual or magical attack, you generally get a saving throw to negate or reduce its effect.

To succeed at a saving throw, you roll a result equal to or higher than its Difficulty Class. Saving throws come in three

kinds: Fortitude, Reflex, and Will.

Fortitude Saving Throw: 1d20 + base save bonus + Constitution modifier

Reflex Saving Throw: 1d20 + base save bonus + Dexterity modifier

Will Saving Throw: 1d20 + base save bonus + Wisdom modifier

MOVEMENT

Each character has a speed measured in feet. You can move that distance as well as attack or cast a 1-action spell, and

you can move before or after attacking or casting.

You can also make a double move, which lets you move double your speed, or a run, which lets you move quadruple

your speed.

When you move in or away from an area that an enemy threatens, you provoke an attack of opportunity (see below) from

that enemy.

Exceptions to these conditions for attacks of opportunity due to moving in or away from a threatened area include

the following:

•If all that you do is move (but not run) during your turn, the space (generally about 5 feet across) that you start out

in is not considered threatened, and therefore enemies do not get attacks of opportunity for you moving from that

space. If you move into another threatened space, however, enemies get attacks of opportunity for you leaving it.

•If your entire move for the round is 5 feet (a 5-foot step), enemies do not get attacks of opportunity for you moving.

ATTACKS OF OPPORTUNITY

You threaten the area next to you, even when it’s not your action. An enemy that takes certain actions while in a

threatened area provokes an attack of opportunity from you. An attack of opportunity is a single attack, and you can

only make one per round. Actions that provoke attacks of opportunity include moving (except as noted above in the

Movement section), casting a spell, and attacking with a ranged weapon.

[mphxths]

DEATH, DYING, AND HEALING

Your hit points represent how much damage you can take before being disabled, knocked unconscious, or killed.

0 Hit Points: If your hit points drop to 0, you are disabled. You can only take partial actions, and you take 1 point

of damage after completing an action.

–1 to –9 Hit Points: If your hit points drop to from –1 to –9 hit points, you’re unconscious and dying, and you lose 1

hit point per round. Each round, before losing that hit point, you have a 10% chance to stabilize. While stabilized,

you’re still unconscious. Each hour you have a 10% chance to regain consciousness, and if you don’t, you lose 1 hit

point instead.

–10 Hit Points: If your hit points fall to –10 or below, you’re dead.

Healing: You can stop a dying character’s loss of hit points with a successful Heal check (DC 15) or with even 1

point of magical healing. If healing raises a character’s hit points to 1 or more, he can resume acting as normal.

MINIATURES

When you use miniatures to keep track of where the characters and monsters are, use a scale of 1 inch = 5 feet.

any adventurers earn their reputations and their wealth by defeating horrible monsters in combat.

Opportunities for battle abound for those who are not held back by fear or good sense. Undead creatures lurk

in ancient crypts, displacer beasts hole up in haunted ruins, and hordes of scaly troglodytes make their homes

deep in dark caverns. While more mundane villains, such as goblin bandits, use spears and swords, the more

exotic creatures wield an array of extraordinary weapons against adventurers, from the troglodytes’ stench to

the dragon’s deadly breath.

This chapter details the combat rules, starting with an example, then covering the basics, and finally some of the

more unusual combat strategies that characters can employ. Many special abilities and forms of damage that affect

combat are also covered in the DUNGEON MASTER’s Guide.

 

 

This extended example of combat demonstrates the most commonly used combat rules.

SETUP

Tordek, the dwarven fighter; Mialee, the elven wizard; Jozan, the human cleric of Pelor; and Lidda, the halfling rogue,

are in a 10-foot-wide dungeon corridor at a door. Tordek is making Strength checks to try to break it down. The DM

asks the players to tell him where their characters are. Tordek is in front of the door. Lidda and Jozan are to either side

of it, and Mialee is behind Jozan. The players are playing with miniatures, so they arrange their miniatures in a line:

Lidda, Tordek, Jozan, and Mialee.

The DM looks at his notes, rolls some dice, and determines that a gang of four orc marauders has arrived, having

heard Tordek banging against the door. The orcs have come around the corner at a T-shaped intersection at the end of

the corridor. They’re 50 feet away from the door, so they’re 40 feet away from Mialee, 45 feet away from Jozan, 50 feet

away from Tordek, and 55 feet away from Lidda.

The orcs know that the adventurers are there. The DM needs to know who among the adventurers is aware of the

orcs. Those who are caught unaware will be surprised. The DM asks each player to make a Listen check (DC 9). Jozan

and Lidda succeed. Tordek and Mialee fail.

SURPRISE ROUND

During the surprise round, only the characters who are aware of their enemies can act, and each takes only a partial

action. The orcs, Jozan, and Lidda all act during the surprise round.

The DM asks Jozan’s and Lidda’s players to make initiative checks. Jozan’s initiative modifier is –1 (the same as his

Dexterity penalty). Lidda’s is +7 (+3 for her Dexterity bonus and +4 for her Improved Initiative). They get 7 and 19 as

their initiative results. The DM rolls for all four orcs (+0) and gets a result of 11. The order of battle during the surprise

round is Lidda first, followed by the orcs, followed by Jozan.

The DM calls on Lidda’s player. Lidda recognizes the bloody eye symbols painted on the orcs’ shields: The symbol

identifies them as marauders. She steps to one side to get a clear line of sight past her friends and shoots a crossbow

bolt at one of the orcs. Lidda’s attack bonus with a crossbow is +4 (+0 base attack bonus, +3 Dexterity bonus, +1 size

bonus). The orc is 55 feet away, well under the light crossbow’s range increment of 80 feet. Lidda therefore suffers no

range penalty. Even though the orc is flat-footed, Lidda can’t sneak attack it because it is more than 30 feet away.

Lidda’s player rolls a 17 for an attack result of 21, well over the orc’s AC of 16. She rolls 1d8 for damage and gets a

3. The orcs have 4 hit points each, so the wounded orc has 1 hit point left. “He staggers,” says the DM, “but he doesn’t

fall.”

Then it is the orcs’ turn. Two orcs have javelins, and they throw them. The DM decides that the two javelins head

toward Mialee, 40 feet away. Javelins have a range increment of 30 feet. The targets are located more than one range

increment and less than two range increments away, for a range penalty of –2. So, the orcs have a –2 attack penalty

with their javelins (+0 base attack bonus, +0 Dexterity bonus, +0 size bonus, –2 range penalty).

Mialee’s AC is usually 13 (due to a +3 Dexterity bonus), but she can’t use her Dexterity bonus while she’s flat-footed,

so her AC right now is 10. Rolling for the orcs, the DM gets an 18 and a 13 for results of 16 and 11. That means both

javelins aimed at her hit. The orcs deal 1d6+2 points of damage with their javelins (1d6 for the javelin, +2 Strength

bonus), so the DM rolls 2d6+4 and gets a result of 12 points of damage. Mialee is knocked from 7 hit points to –5. She

falls to the stone floor, unconscious and dying.

Then Jozan takes his action. He is next to Mialee already. He reaches down and casts cure minor wounds on her. Her

hit points rise to –4, and she is no longer dying. (If he had not cured her, she would probably have lost another hit

point at the end of the round.)

With that, the surprise round ends.

FIRST REGULAR ROUND

The DM asks Tordek’s player to make an initiative check because he’s the only conscious character who hasn’t done

so. He gets a 14, so he goes after Lidda and before the orcs. The order of battle is: Lidda, Tordek, orcs, Jozan. (Mialee is

unconscious and can’t take an action.)

On her turn, Lidda fires another crossbow bolt, but she misses. She drops her crossbow and switches to her short

sword (rather than reloading her crossbow).

Then Tordek moves 15 feet to get between the orcs and Mialee. (The orcs are 50 feet away from him, too far for him

to reach them and attack, even with a charge.) The corridor is too wide (10 feet) for him to keep the orcs from getting

past him, but he will at least get an attack of opportunity on any single orc that tries it.

On their action, the orcs are 35 feet away from Tordek. That’s within charging range. (They can charge 40 feet.) The

two orcs with battleaxes in hand charge and attack. In a 10-foot-wide corridor, only two can fight side by side. The

other two in the back ready their axes and wait to get in. One orc could try to move past Tordek so another orc could

get at him, but then Tordek would get an attack of opportunity on the first orc.

The orcs have a +4 attack bonus on their attack rolls with their battleaxes (+0 base attack bonus, +2 Strength bonus,

+2 charge bonus). Tordek’s AC is 17 (+4 armor bonus, +2 shield bonus, +1 Dexterity bonus), and neither charging orc hits him. “Their battleaxes clang against your shield and armor,” says the DM, “and you can feel the strength behind

their blows, but you’re not hurt.”

Jozan casts cure light wounds (his 1st-level domain spell) on Mialee. That spell restores 1d8+2 hit points to Mialee, but

Jozan’s player rolls a 1 for a result of only 3 hit points cured. Mialee’s hit points rise to –1, but that’s not enough to get

her back on her feet.

SECOND REGULAR ROUND

Lidda steps in next to Tordek and thrusts with her short sword at the orc she wounded with the crossbow bolt. Her

attack bonus is +0, and she misses even though the orc’s AC is penalized by –2 because he charged in the previous

round.

Tordek swings his dwarven waraxe at the orc in front of him. His attack bonus is +4 (+1 base attack bonus, +2

Strength bonus, +1 Weapon Focus bonus). He hits the orc (whose AC is also penalized) and deals 2d4+2 points of

damage. His total is 7, which is enough to take the orc out.

Another orc marauder steps over the body of his fallen comrade and swings his battleaxe at Tordek. He hits and

deals 1d8+2 points of damage (1d8 for a battleaxe, +2 Strength bonus). Tordek sustains 7 points of damage, and his hit

points drop to 6. He’s now hurt badly enough that one more hit could easily drop him.

The orc that Lidda tried to stab curses her for hitting him with a crossbow bolt, swings his battleaxe at her, misses,

and curses again.

Jozan, worried that the team could lose its fighter, drops her prepared bless spell to spontaneously cast cure light

wounds on Tordek. Jozan’s player rolls a 7, for a result of 8 hit points cured. Tordek is now healed back to his original

13 hit points (he only needed 7 of the 8 points of curing).

THIRD REGULAR ROUND

Lidda moves back away from the orc to let Jozan step in. Since Lidda is taking a double move (doing nothing but

moving), and since she moves directly away from the orcs, the orcs don’t get to make attacks of opportunity against her.

Tordek’s player rolls a natural 20 on his attack roll. That’s a threat (a possible critical hit). He makes a critical roll

(1d20 + his total attack bonus), and the result is 17. Since that would hit the orc, Tordek’s hit is a critical hit. Dwarven

waraxes deal 1d10 points of damage on a normal hit and ¥3 damage on critical hits, so Tordek’s player rolls 3d10. He

gets a result of 19 points of damage, which is more than enough to kill the orc instantly.

The last orc steps in to attack Tordek. He swings and misses. The orc that had been attacking Lidda also attacks

Tordek and misses.

Jozan steps in next to Tordek with his heavy mace, hits the orc that Lidda had wounded, and downs it.

Now only one orc is left, and he’s 10 feet away from Tordek and Jozan.

FOURTH REGULAR ROUND

Lidda darts between Tordek and Jozan and swings at the orc, but she misses.

Tordek moves up and swings but also misses.

The orc takes a double move and moves 25 feet back to the T-shaped intersection and 15 feet around the corner.

Since this action involved only movement and the orc moved away from Tordek and Lidda without entering another

area threatened by them, they do not get attacks of opportunity against him.

Jozan and Lidda each can run as fast as the orc. They might be able to catch him. But Tordek can’t keep up, and

Mialee is still unconscious, so they let him go.

[mphxths]

As seen in the example, combat is cyclical. (Everybody acts in turn in a regular cycle.) Generally, combat runs in the

following way:

1. Each combatant starts the battle flat-footed. Once a combatant acts, she or he is no longer flat-footed.

2. The DM determines which characters are aware of their opponents at the start of the battle. If some but not all of

the combatants are aware of their opponents, a surprise round happens before regular rounds begin. The

combatants who are aware of the opponents can act in the surprise round, so they roll for initiative. In initiative

order (highest to lowest), combatants who started the battle aware of their opponents each take a partial action

during the surprise round. Combatants who were unaware do not get to act in the surprise round. If no one or

everyone starts the battle aware, there is no surprise round.

3. Combatants who have not yet rolled initiative do so. All combatants are now ready to begin their first regular round.

4. Combatants act in initiative order.

5. When everyone has had a turn, the combatant with the highest initiative acts again, and steps 4 and 5 repeat

until combat ends.

COMBAT STATISTICS

Several fundamental statistics determine how well you do in combat. This section summarizes these statistics, and the

following sections detail how to use them.

ATTACK ROLL

When you make an attack roll, you roll a d20 and add your attack bonus. If your result equals the target’s AC or better,

you hit and deal damage. Lots of modifiers affect the attack roll, such as a +1 bonus if you have Weapon Focus with

that weapon, a +1 bonus if you’re using a masterwork weapon, a +1 morale bonus if you’re the recipient of a bless spell,

a +2 bonus if your opponent is stunned, and so forth.

ATTACK BONUS

Your attack bonus with a melee weapon is:

Base attack bonus + Strength modifier + size modifier

With a ranged weapon, your attack bonus is:

Base attack bonus + Dexterity modifier + size modifier + range penalty

Strength Modifier: Strength helps you swing a weapon harder and faster, so your Strength modifier applies to melee

attack rolls.

Dexterity Modifier: Since Dexterity measures coordination and steadiness, your Dexterity modifier applies to

attacks with ranged weapons.

Size Modifier: The smaller you are, the bigger other creatures are relative to you. A human is a big target to a

halfling, just as an ogre is a big target to a human. Since this same size modifier applies to AC, two creatures of

the same size strike each other normally, regardless of what size they actually are. Size modifiers are as follows:

Colossal –8, Gargantuan –4, Huge –2, Large –1, Medium-size +0, Small +1, Tiny +2, Diminutive +4, Fine +8.

Range Penalty: The range penalty with a ranged weapon depends on what weapon you’re using and how far away

the target is. All ranged weapons have a range increment, such as 10 feet for a thrown dagger or 120 feet for a heavy

crossbow (see Table 7–4: Weapons, pages 98–99). Any attack from a distance of less than one range increment is not

penalized for range, so an arrow from a shortbow (range increment 60 feet) can strike at enemies up to 59 feet away

with no penalty. However, each full range increment causes a cumulative –2 penalty to the attack roll. A shortbow

archer firing at a target 200 feet away suffers a –6 attack penalty (because 200 feet is at least three range increments but

not four increments). Thrown weapons, such as throwing axes, have a maximum range of five range increments.

Projectile weapons, such as bows, can shoot up to ten increments.

 

DAMAGE

When you hit with a weapon, you deal damage according to the type of weapon (see Table 7–4: Weapons, pages 98–

99). Unarmed strikes and the natural physical attack forms of creatures are considered to deal weapon damage for the

purposes of effects that give you a bonus to weapon damage.

Minimum Weapon Damage: If penalties to damage bring the damage result below 1, a hit still deals 1 point of

damage.

Strength Bonus: When you hit with a weapon, you also add your Strength modifier to damage with melee and

thrown weapons. If you have a Strength penalty (not a bonus), apply it to damage you deal with bows and slings. Apply

neither a Strength bonus nor a Strength penalty to damage from a crossbow. If you have a Strength bonus (not a

penalty), you sometimes add more than or less than the bonus:

Off-Hand Weapon: When you deal damage with a weapon in your off hand, you add only one-half of your Strength

bonus.

Wielding a Weapon Two-Handed: When you deal damage with a weapon that you are wielding two-handed, you add

one and one half times your Strength bonus. Light weapons don’t get this higher Strength bonus when used twohanded

(see Tiny, Small, Medium-size, and Large Weapons, page 96).

Multiplying Damage: Sometimes you multiply damage by some factor, such as when you score a critical hit. Roll the

damage (with all modifiers) multiple times and total the results. Note: When you multiply damage more than once,

each multiplier works off the original, unmultiplied damage (see Multiplying, page 275).

Exception: Bonus damage represented as extra dice, such as from a sneak attack or a flaming sword, is not multiplied

when you score a critical hit.

For example, Krusk the half-orc barbarian gets a +3 bonus to damage when using a longsword, a +4 bonus to damage

when using a greataxe (two-handed), and a +1 bonus to damage when using a weapon in his off hand. His critical

multiplier with a greataxe is ¥3, so if he scored a critical hit, he would roll 1d12+4 points of damage three times (the

same as rolling 3d12+12).

Ability Score Damage: Certain creatures and magical effects can cause temporary ability damage (a reduction

to an ability score). The DUNGEON MASTER’s Guide has details on ability damage.

ARMOR CLASS (AC)

Your Armor Class (AC) represents how hard it is for opponents to land a solid, damaging blow on you. It’s the attack

roll result that an opponent needs to achieve to hit you. The average, unarmored peasant has an AC of 10. Your AC is

is equal to the following:

10 + armor bonus + shield bonus + Dexterity modifier + size modifier

Armor and Shield Bonuses: Your armor and shield each provide a bonus to your AC. This bonus represents their

ability to protect you from blows.

Dexterity Modifier: If your Dexterity is high, you are particularly adept at dodging blows. If your Dexterity is low,

you are particularly inept at it. That’s why you apply your Dexterity modifier to your AC.

Note that armor limits your Dexterity bonus, so if you’re wearing armor you might not be able to apply your whole

Dexterity bonus to your AC (see Table 7–5: Armor, page 104).

Sometimes you can’t use your Dexterity bonus (if you have one). The AC bonus you get for a high Dexterity

represents your ability to dodge incoming attacks. If you can’t react to a blow, you can’t use your Dexterity bonus on

AC. (If you don’t have a Dexterity bonus, nothing happens.) You lose your Dexterity bonus when, for example, an

invisible opponent attacks you, you’re hanging on for dear life to the face of a crumbling cliff high above a river of lava,

or you’re caught flat-footed at the beginning of a combat.

Size Modifier: The bigger a creature is, the easier it is to hit in combat. The smaller it is, the harder it is to hit. Since

this same modifier applies to attack rolls, a halfling, for example, doesn’t have a hard time hitting another halfling. Size

modifiers are as follows: Colossal –8, Gargantuan –4, Huge –2, Large –1, Medium-size +0, Small +1, Tiny +2,

Diminutive +4, Fine +8.

Other Modifiers: Many other factors add to your AC:

Dodge Feat: The Dodge feat (page 81) improves your AC by +1 against a single opponent.

Enhancement Bonuses: Enhancement effects make your armor better (+1 chainmail, +2 large shield, etc.).

Deflection Bonus: Magical deflection effects ward off attacks and improve your AC.

Natural Armor: Natural armor improves your AC. (Members of the common races don’t have natural armor, which

usually consists of scales, fur, or layers of huge muscles. You might get natural armor from a magic item or from the

druid spell barkskin.)

Dodge Bonuses: Some other AC bonuses represent actively avoiding blows, such as the dwarf’s AC bonus against

giants or the AC bonus for fighting defensively. These bonuses are called dodge bonuses. Any situation that denies you

your Dexterity bonus also denies you dodge bonuses. (Wearing armor, however, does not limit these bonuses the way it

limits a Dexterity bonus to AC.) Unlike most sorts of bonuses, dodge bonuses stack with each other. A dwarf’s +4 AC

bonus against giants and his +2 AC bonus for fighting defensively combine to give him a +6 bonus.

Touch Attacks: Some attacks disregard armor, including shields and natural armor. For example, a wizard’s touch

with a shocking grasp spell hurts you regardless of what armor you’re wearing or how thick your skin happens to be. In these cases, the attacker makes a touch attack roll (either a ranged touch attack roll or a melee touch attack roll). The

attacker makes her attack roll as normal, but your AC does not include any armor bonus, shield bonus, or natural

armor bonus. Your size modifier, Dexterity modifier, and deflection bonus (if any) all apply normally. For example, if a

sorcerer tries to touch Tordek with a shocking grasp spell, Tordek gets his +1 Dexterity bonus, but not his +4 armor

bonus for his scale mail or his +2 shield bonus for his large wooden shield. His AC is only 11 against a touch attack.

HIT POINTS

Your hit points tell you how much punishment you can take before dropping. Your hit points are based on your class

and level and are modified by your Constitution modifier. Most monsters’ hit points are based on their type, though

some monsters have class and level, too. (Watch out for the medusa sorcerers.)

When your hit point total reaches 0, you’re disabled. When it reaches –1, you’re dying. When it gets to –10, your

problems are over—you’re dead (see Injury and Death, page 127).

SPEED

Your speed tells you how far you can move in a round and still do something, such as attack or cast a spell. Your speed

depends mostly on your race and what armor you’re wearing.

Dwarves, gnomes, and halflings move 20 feet, or 15 feet when wearing medium or heavy armor.

Humans, elves, half-elves, and half-orcs move 30 feet, or 20 feet when wearing medium or heavy armor.

If you take a double move action in a round, you can move up to double your normal speed. If you run all out, you

can move up to quadruple your normal speed (or triple if you are in heavy armor).

SAVING THROWS

As an adventurer, you have more to worry about than taking damage. You also have to face the petrifying gaze of the

medusa, the wyvern’s lethal venom, and the harpy’s compelling song. Luckily, a tough adventurer can survive these

threats, too.

Generally, when you are subject to an unusual or magical attack, you get a saving throw to avoid or reduce the effect.

Like an attack roll, a saving throw is a d20 roll plus a bonus based on your class, level, and an ability score. Your saving

throw bonus is:

Base save bonus + ability modifier

Saving Throw Types: The three different kinds of saving throws are these:

Fortitude: These saves measure your ability to stand up to massive physical punishment or attacks against your

vitality and health such as poison, paralysis, and magic that causes instant death. Apply your Constitution modifier to

your Fortitude saving throws. Fortitude saves can be made against attacks or effects such as poison, disease, paralysis,

petrification, energy drain, destruction, and disintegrate.

Reflex: These saves test your ability to dodge massive attacks such as a wizard’s fireball or the lethal breath of a dragon.

Apply your Dexterity modifier to your Reflex saving throws. Reflex saves can be made against attacks or effects such as

pit traps, catching on fire, fireball, lightning bolt, and red dragon breath.

Will: These saves reflect your resistance to mental influence and domination as well as many magical effects. Apply

your Wisdom modifier to your Will saving throws. Will saves can be made against attacks or effects such as charm

person, hold person, polymotph other, and most illusion spells.

Saving Throw Difficulty Class: The DC for a save is determined by the attack itself. Two examples: A Medium-size

monstrous centipede’s poison allows a Fortitude save against DC 11. An ancient red dragon’s fiery breath allows a

Reflex save against DC 35.

 

Each round, each combatant gets to do something. The combatants’ initiative checks determine the order in which

they act, from highest to lowest. As adventurers say, “Striking first is good, but striking last is better.”

Initiative Checks: At the start of a battle, each combatant makes a single initiative check. An initiative check is a

Dexterity check. The DM finds out what order characters are acting in, counting down from highest result to lowest,

and each character acts in turn, with the check applying to all rounds of the combat (unless a character takes an action

that results in her initiative changing; see Special Initiative Actions, page 133). Usually, the DM writes the names of the

characters down in initiative order so that on subsequent rounds he can move quickly from one character to the next.

If two or more combatants have the same initiative check result, the combatants who are tied go in order of Dexterity

(highest first). If there is still a tie, flip a coin.

Monster Initiative: Typically, the DM makes a single initiative check for the monsters. That way, each player gets a

turn each round and the DM also gets one turn. At the DM’s option, however, he can make separate initiative checks

for different groups of monsters or even for individual creatures. For instance, the DM may make one initiative check

for an evil cleric of Nerull and another check for all seven of her zombie guards.

Flat-Footed: At the start of a battle, before you have had a chance to act (specifically, before your first regular turn in

the initiative order), you are flat-footed. You can’t use your Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) while flat-footed. (This fact

can be very bad for you if you’re attacked by rogues.) Barbarians’ and rogues’ uncanny dodge extraordinary ability

allows them to avoid losing their Dexterity bonus to AC due to being flat-footed. A flat-footed character can’t make

attacks of opportunity.

SURPRISE

When a combat starts, if you were not aware of your enemies and they were aware of you, you’re surprised.

How Surprise Works

Lidda is “footpaddin’ ” 40 feet in advance of her companions as they walk down a dungeon corridor. She hears

something coming her group’s way from around a corner ahead of her, and her companions don’t hear it. Before she

can raise a hand to signal her companions, a troll comes around the corner. The troll and Lidda’s friends are surprised,

but Lidda is not. She gets a free partial action before anyone else can do anything, and she lets loose a bolt from her

light crossbow. Since the troll is surprised, it does not get its +2 Dexterity bonus to AC. Lidda’s bolt strikes home.

Because the monster was denied its Dexterity bonus to AC and the troll is within 30 feet of her, Lidda’s sneak attack

ability kicks in. She rolls 1d8+1d6 for damage instead of just 1d8, and deals 11 points of damage on the troll. With

that, the surprise round ends and the first regular round begins. If Lidda’s initiative result is better than the troll’s, she

gets to act again before it does (and it will still be flat-footed).

Awareness and Surprise

Sometimes all the combatants on a side are aware of the enemies, sometimes none are, sometimes only some of them

are. Sometimes a few combatants on each side are aware and the other combatants on each side are unaware.

Determining Awareness: The DM determines who is aware of whom at the start of a battle. She may call for Listen

checks, Spot checks, or other checks to see how aware the PCs are of the enemy. Some example situations:

• The party (including Tordek, a fighter, and Jozan, a cleric, clanging along in metal armor) comes to a door in a

dungeon. The DM knows that the displacer beasts on the other side of the door hear the party. Lidda listens at the

door, hears guttural snarling, and tells the rest of the party about it. Tordek breaks the door open. Both sides are

aware; neither is surprised. The characters and displacer beasts make initiative checks, and the battle begins.

• The party is exploring a ruined armory, looking through the rusted weapons for anything of value. Kobolds lurking

in hiding places are waiting for the right time to strike. Jozan spots one of the kobolds, and the kobolds let out a

shriek and charge. The kobolds and Jozan each get a partial action during the surprise round. Kobolds that are close

enough can charge adventurers and attack them. Others can move to try to put themselves in advantageous positions

or shoot arrows at the flat-footed party members. Jozan can cast a spell, attack, or take some other action. After the

surprise round, the first regular round begins.

• The party is advancing down a dark corridor, using light spells to light the way. At the end of the corridor is a

kobold sorcerer who does not want to be disturbed, and she angrily casts a lightning bolt. That’s the surprise round.

After the lightning bolt, the first regular round begins, and the party is in a tough spot, since they still can’t see who

attacked them.

The Surprise Round: If some but not all of the combatants are aware of their opponents, a surprise round

happens before regular rounds begin. The combatants who are aware of the opponents can act in the surprise

round, so they roll for initiative. In initiative order (highest to lowest), combatants who started the battle aware

of their opponents each take a partial action during the surprise round (see Partial Actions, page 127). If no

one or everyone is surprised, a surprise round does not occur.
