OT: am playing D&D light and am having fun

ranger gains the Ambidexterity and the Two Weapon Fighting feats.
Details:
When fighting with two weapons, normally players suffer a -6 penalty to hit with each. (might be wrong on the numbers)
Two-weapon fightning reduces this to -2/-4 (with the 2nd one being the off-hand, choose yourself whether he is left or right handed). Ambidexterity nullifies the penalty for the off-hand, making it -2/-2, however the other weapon must be small I THINK

They only gain those 2 feats while wearing light or no armor. The secondary weapon being smaller than the primary weapon reduces its penalty by 2, but it does not have to be small.

Narf, if your going to have an RP group going about Online, let me know, i might well join it canadian, from Alberta, Calgary

[Fyron]

I thought you didn't like chatting Online? How can RPing be any better? You lose all of the atmospheric effects that are half the experience...

[Arkcon]

Hey there, all this talk about D&D has got me thinking about these games again. But I don't care much for the 3 edition modules that you can buy.

I used to like browsing on the web for small little dungeon crawls, and I'd spice them up with the rules our group used to use. But a Google search doesn't lead me to anything like that anymore. Anyone have any links?

[EDIT]

Oh, I did find the RPG Archive {here}, and I guess this d20 is sort of an open source FRP, this is kinda what I'm looking for. But I'm really more interested in more of the old stuff.

[Taera]

it cant fyron, and please dont throw my own thoughts on me, but real D&D doesnt happen often (there is a lot of time from weekend to weekend ) and that might be a good time-passer

[narf poit chez BOOM]

well, i'll put up a thread and see if anyone's interested.
