OOC D&D INFO THING
Okay. For those of you who wanted to do D&D with Apple Kid, I need you to do a few things for me.
This time we're using some house rules. Because as much as I enjoy rolling dice and looking at numbers between posts and making things tabletop complicated, it made posts long and really gave me a lot of extra work.
SO. If you want to have a character play in his D&D tabletop pretendytime game within an internet pretendytime game CLICK ON THROUGH. If you don't, then you can ignore this. RED TEAM you may be getting a game of your own, I don't know. It depends on how many people we get.
We're going to be playing by flipping coins. Honor system works here. Actions will work depending on succeeding on one or more coin flips, depending on what class you are, and what you are trying to do. Certain classes are better at things than other classes, and that will reflect in what is going on.
Hitpoints is how many hits it takes to kill your character. Attack is how good you are at attacking. Defense is how easy it is for monsters to hit you. Skills is how good you are at non-fighting actions. Magic is if your character can cast magic or not. Special abilities is for random special class things.
