When the last party, which included several regulars in the campaign (Mark Ratner and Jim Ward each playing one of their player character henchmen, and Ernie Gygax playing the character another participant had abandoned when he or she had to leave for home), beat up a body of gnolls and slew their master, there was a scroll amidst the heap of booty. Not having the heart to cut them short, I ended up eating meals while play went on, and the games lasted from morning into the late hours of Saturday night, from early Sunday morning straight through until evening, and fatigue made me a bit silly. " When last winter's tedium was broken by the fun and games at WINTER FANTASY, I was scheduled for DMing continual adventures in Greyhawk Castle, and that is exactly what they turned out to be continual.

These are the standard stat mods for BX D&D when applying a modifier to a d6 or 2d6 roll.
If you want caster Intelligence to figure into the roll, here's a chart for that: Magic Missile gains one bonus missile for each point over 12 rolled.Spells with no such variable double range, duration, etc as appropriate.Any spell with a variable based on caster level gains +1d6 levels.While I don't mind making up spell fumbles and oversuccesses on the fly, a couple good rules of thumb for the latter might be in order. Basically, any situation where the casting is less certain than normal conditions.įor DCC-style "you must roll for every spell" shenanigans, just add a "1 or less" category that sets off a spell fumble and an "oversuccess" result on a 13+. Someone attempting to cast an Arduin spell that's rated a spell level beyond the scope of the rules you normally use. Some joker with read magic trying to cast a high level spell directly out of a spell book. A moth eaten scroll with an incomplete spell. In my games I'd probably rule that the spell goes off the following round, provided nobody disrupts the casting in the meantime.Īnyway, even if you are a pretty strict Vancian adherent there's still lots of uses for a chart like this. Also, note that the Delay category refers to the spell going off one Chainmail turn after the casting. A bunch of my gaming stuff is packed at the moment. I may have that level chart slightly buggered up, as I'm doing it from memory. 1 for a first level spell, -2 for a second level spell, etc. Rolling dice to cast a spell goes back to Chainmail.
The proboscis-to-jimmy attack ended up only doing a single measly point of damage, but I doubt I'll ever forget that particular one point. The stirge in question is killed on the next round and gingerly removed from the area in question. I don't know if it was my idea or not, but I will totally take the blame for this next part: the cleric now has a stirge jammed in his crotch, sucking out his, and I quote, "dick blood". On the next round the stirge gets up and attacks the cleric, rolling a crit. The beggar-thief and the cleric of Cthulhu try stomping on its head, but both roll miserably, bumping into each other in their haste to kill the prone bird-bat-mosquito thing. Eustace the Bold uses a Mighty Deed of Arm (which I use as an ad lib stunt system, ignoring the details in the GM section) to swat one to the ground with his shield. The party was descending this big spiral staircase somewhere under the Tower of Zenopus when some stirges flew down and started harassing them. So last night at the Armored Gopher we were playing a third session of the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG.
