Nah, the universe doesn't ignore division by zero. It just creates a blackhole that swallows up everything around it, as a way of saying "you wanna divide by zero? Then I'll eat all of your atoms up!".
You mean like tribes of lost ph.d students who were lost in the stack and formed a tribe to hunt the mighty thesaurus. Those kind of library barbarians?
Ah, no, in old school D&D (1974-1999) we called that 'being high level to get multiple attacks'. There was no 'feats' and therefore no 'cleave' or 'great cleave' until third edition in 2000.
I played Basic D&D last weekend. There were no multiple attacks. We had a Mapper and a Caller. Classes were Fighter, Thief, Cleric, Magic User, Elf, Dwarf, and Halfling. Magic Users got one spell and 1d4 HP. Initiative was by party rather than individual. Except I was wielding a 2 handed weapon, so I always went last.
Back in the day, if you rolled dice, you had probably already screwed up.
Sigh, thank you for making me feel old. Anyhow, I suggest you make a mandatory playing of classic gems like Neverwinter Nights (1!) for your group to better educate them about the feats. Strictly for educational purpose of course. :D
I was born before Super Bowl 1 and saw the Moon in broad daylight when Armstrong took his one small step,so yeah,I'm old.I started with D&D way back in 82,then got AD&D,then AD&D 2nd Edition and stopped after I got the 3rd Edition. I haven't played any D&D since 2000 or so.I still have all of my dice,character sheets and old characters,though.
Look like the shield took the hit but since she wasn't expecting it, her footing wasn't optimal. Or the boss is that strong. From her position, I am almost sure she will fall on her back or stumble backward into her allies.
Good page. Show that at least some of the group have some skills.
For AD&D at least, fighters with specialization and at higher levels could get multiple attacks. And of course against 0-level critters, they could get one attack per level. So in AD&D terms, they could have won initiative and now are on the second round. Or the Froblins could have been less than one hit die.
Disadvantage of not actually possessing a neck.
I'll just stick to imagining that he unwinds by playing Delta blues on an old beat up Fender in some smoky Froblin after hours bar.
But what if the knight is a lady? I think we created a paradox
Yeah, i know, not so clever.
May he feast upon flies in Valhalla.
Yeah, I know, I'm old...
Trying to explain feats and such to my 5th edition group is like... well I guess it's like trying to explain THAC0 to someone from my era.
AD&D is beyond oldschool and has entered the realm of myth and legend. You're not old, you're just epic level.

It was Moldvaylicious!
I swear sometimes the only reason original D&D survived was because there was literally no alternative to gaming.
She's a fighter though, she can tank it. I hope.

Of course, at this point, the twist might be that they actually all get out of it alive and well.
Old School D&D didn't have Cleave, or Feats of any kind.
Doesn't mean it wasn't an impressive move though.
Jesus Christ. 3e is old enough to vote. It'll be taking it's gap year before college next year. It's had it's driver's license for TWO YEARS already!
... get off my lawn, young'n'.
