Razor: Indeed, it isn't quite your turn yet. But it is coming up. If you would like, we can just queue that action until it is your turn!

Zombie1's Defense:
(1d20-1)[19]

Umbranar: Damn... well, you hit (massively, apparently), but you missed the head. It connected with the back (since it was unaware of your presence this round).

Probably, should have given you a +2... but that would've still only resulted in a neck hit. My apologies!

I need defense rolls (1d20+AC) from both Gunn and Umbranar, please! Strike that, Umbranar... Zombie1 is still surprised this round!

Zombie5's Attack {versus Victor}:
(1d20+2)[6] (normally a +3, with a -1 from "missing" an eye)
(1d4+2)[4] (bite damage, if it hits)

Zombie1's Attack {versus Mason}:
(1d20-1)[15] (normally a +3, with a -4 from being all f^cked up)
(1d6+3)[7] (slam/claw damage, if it hits)


Francois... you're up!
Viola... you're on deck.
Jim... you're on deck second.

Oh... also, as a heads-up! I am going to start trying to incorporate Action Points in the system and see how that works out. It should encourage strong RP and trying cool "cinematic" actions (which will be what earns them)! And then you can choose to spend 1 Action Point on any future d20 roll (before the roll is made) in order to add +1d6 to that roll.

What do you guys think?

I would be very much more pleased if I actually would have stabbed that thing in the face, but yeah, nice try I guess.

About the action points, I don't know. In D&D 4E, they also have some action points, but I always seem to forget them in the heat of the fight :)

Zombie5's Defense:
(1d20-1)[12]

Yeah... there's a good chance that you missed with that attack, but we shall see!

Thump: Viola's turn!

Razor: We can just keep your action since it is almost your turn.

Are you moving and attacking, or are you throwing your tumbler? I am assuming since you added +2 that you were intending melee?

Zombie5's Defense:
(1d20-1)[4]

Either way, you hit... killing it! You may put 1 point into either Bludgeoning or Thrown (depending on the way you made your kill)! Oops... your tumbler is also at 10 points of damage, which means that it shatters.

Hooray, I actually hit it! And... damn. Yeah, I was moving into melee range.


+1 into Bludgeoning.

You got it, Haas. Sheet updated for the kill and the broken weapon!

Way to go, Thump... first true kill of the game! Give yourself an Action Point.

Zombie4's Defense (versus Jim):
(1d20-1)[19]

With a +2 for flanking, you tied... which means that you hit, but it only a knick (1 point of subdual).

I apologize for the triple post... die rolls needed!

Zombie2's Attack {versus Victor}:
(1d20+3)[11] (To hit)
(1d6+3)[7] (slam/claw damage, if it hits)

HZ: You are up!
Gunn: Victor is on deck.
Umbranar: Mason is on second deck.

Yay! Doing some cross-referencing to figure out which zombies are which and which are injured, one moment.

I will be updating the Battle Map at the end of each round of combat (which is, unfortunately, directly after your turn). I have also been updating the Battle Chart to show what damage is on which zombie... if that helps!

HZ: You would be making your normal attack roll (1d20+Level+STR... or minus STR in your case).


Although, you can also throw the broom handle (think like a javelin)... in which case it would be (1d20+Level+DEX) to your attack instead!

On your body, in your pockets... the reason I am being such a stickler on this is because that is part of the beauty of this game (sure, killing zombies is a large part of it) - the survival element, making do with little at your disposal but your wits and ingenuity. Credit cards can be used to open normally locked doors, shoe laces can be used as light rope/string, and blue jeans can be made into a floatation device (yes, this is true... I have done it in Boy Scouts). I outfitted your character in "my" version of your character sheet above, based on the picture and information you provided... just as a baseline/example. But before we get out of the kitchen, you are more than welcome to make changes (and I encourage you to do so)!
Just reread the thread, so excuse me for missing that. (I'm terrible at that.) I'll just remember to make minor changes as we go.

I'm loving this so far, it's probably the only game out of two where we progressed far enough into combat, and keeping it right at the start keeps people in. Two thumbs up from me! (Almost typed thumps... )

Thump: No worries! Let me know if you want to change your inventory around at all. As long as we get it sorted before you guys leave the kitchen, I'm fine with any alterations that you want to make.

And thank you very much for the compliment! It truly does make my day to hear that and know that the work I am putting in makes it worthwhile for you guys. Hopefully it stays strong and fresh!

Alright... the updated Battle Map will have to wait until I get here around 9 CST tomorrow morning!

I can post before then, we just won't have the Map update.

Okay... you have been scratched for 7 points. However, don't give up on ol' Victor just yet! ;)

And, you were the first to be injured! So, Fresh Meat - you have earned yourself an Action Point!

Rolling for Blake's javelining of Zombie 1. (1d20+1)[2] to hit & (1d4)[3] for damage (hope that's right)!

Another natural 1. Blake's on a real roll
