Re: General Discussion

Brummie is a person from Birmingham and they have a accent that always goes up at the end of each sentance, where firewind lives is just north of that area

Not as bad as Yorkshire though

and Geordie

So basically just like someone from L.A.

Re: General Discussion

I might be crazy, but the way D&D handles d% rolls is flawed. Suppose there's a 25% chance of something happening. You roll two d10; d10#1 corresponds to the tens place, d10#2 corresponds to the ones.
The chances of d10#1 <= 2 are 2/10, or 0.2%.
The chances of d10#2 <= 5 are 5/10, or 0.5%.
The odds that both events will happen are 0.2 * 0.5 = 0.1 = 10%.

I've don't even understand the point of d% rolls in Pathfinder. I've only seen a handful of circumstances that use d%, the main one being Concealment, but the % always seems to be divisible by 5 so you could just throw a d20 instead.

Re: General Discussion

I sense a strongly worded letter from Armando to Wizards of the Coast is in the works.

Dear Wizards,

First off... love what you did with MTG. Secondly, what were you thinking with d%? I have a mind to...

*ramblerambleramblefor8pagesramblerambleramble*

... and furthermore, AC was fine back in AD&D... why did you fuck that up?

The 10 should count as 0 otherwise you're rolling from 11 to 110. So the chances are actually 30% and 60%, and you only check for the second event if the first event is a 2. If d10#1 < 2 (20%) OR (d10#1 = 2 (10%) AND d10#2 <=5 (60%)) = 26% chance. If your goal is to roll under the target noninclusive, it works out.
