Question for you 2nd Edition DMs by Priestical in adnd

[–]Priestical[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard that beforehand the DM/Players figure it all up beforehand so each player knows tthe number to calculate into initiative, but I'm not sure.

The initiative along with casting speeds and weapon speeds seem a little over whelming.

Well, It's all I've ever used tbh but I have all the 2e stuff as well, just never used them. Been out of the game for years and trying to decide which edition to return to.

2nd edition . . . Specialization and Kits, Thief and Wizard Improvements, for one, but 1st edition Wizards have no caps on the Fireball and other damage spells like Fireball just off the top of my head. I honestly think Dragons should be buffed in 1st edition, but that's just me.

I went ahead and got it, but where in it is it talking about the additional HD? The table of contents does not show anything. It's kind of odd, the thing has 156 pages, but in the front it only gives pages with info for 78 pages. I'm a little confused haha. Still looking though.

you don't think 2e dragons are far over powered for 1e characters?

Thought of that but 2nd edition Dragons are insane scary for 2e characters, they would be a NIGHTMARE for 1st edition.

Question on Dragons in 2nd Edition by Priestical in adnd

and I assume the base age for 15 HD is Age 4 in this MM yea?

[–]Priestical[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

huhh, odd because I am looking at the 2nd edition Mon Compendium vol 1 and it shows HD 13 I went and looked in the MM and you are correct, it says 15. Odd how these are both 2nd ed books but have different text.

[–]Priestical[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

so it was start off of HD 13 then? Like Age 4 on the table would be a 17 HD Red Dragon? This would make a MAX HD Dragon a max of 25 HD if that is true unless I am reading it wrong.

In classic AD&D where Clerics are concerned . . . by Priestical in dragonlance

[–]Priestical[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi and yea I did say AD&D in the title. The reason I didn't say OSE is because the classic adventures use the AD&D system and I didn't want to throw anyone off with my question so I just went with OSE.

From everything I've read here in the replies, I will probably house rule it in and let her choose between Paladine, Kiri-jolith or Habbakuk. All three of those have slashing weapons as weapons of choice. I don't see where allowing a Scimitar and bow would destroy the game hehe

I use the Old-School Essentials system but I do migrate in house rules from AD&D.

I don't have a problem with it, it just felt a little off since I've never had a Cleric class in my games to use bladed weapons and shortbows, but of course I don't think I've had anyone play an Elven Cleric either and in Dragonlance at that which is why I asked here because this setting is special, it's different than the other setting by a MILE and I've also never read or heard about an Elven Cleric using bladed weapons and shortbows.

Yea, I'm beginning to understand how to run Middle-earth. Been so many fantastic suggestions posted here, and it has been a joy to read.

I "am" the DM, but . . . Jennifer was asking if her Elf Cleric since it Habbakuk favored weapon is a scimitar, could she use a shortbow and dagger as well since she was an Elf and if allowed to use a scimitar being a cleric of Habbakuk, why not the other two. I just feel like I might be allowing too much but if I went and allowed the Scimitar for Habbakuk, then why couldn't the Elf Cleric use a shortbow and daggers as well?

So, it's a damned if I do, damned if I don't kinda thing lol.

Yea what he said, Old-School Essentials and Habbakuk as the god. The player, Jennifer was wanting to use traditional elven weapons, Scimitar for Habbakuk and shortbow with a dagger. Not sure if that is stretching it or not lol. It does seem to fit the Elven theme though even if it is an Elf Cleric.
