Just a quick comment: I'd love to see discussion continue here, as I think it's good for providing another alternative, another type of game that we can readily play.
As to spells in D&D, typically a first level wizard can cast first level spells, a third level wizard can cast second level spells, a fifth level wizard can cast third level spells, and so on. Other magic-using classes may earn new levels of spells more slowly, and that will be shown in the chart that presents the abilities that class gains at each level. As to adventures, it really depends on the kind of GM you have, and the kinds of adventures your players want. Like most role-playing games, a game can range from a dungeon crawl (go into the caverns outside of town and kill the dragon, you get to keep all his treasure) to political intrigue (someone is trying to assassinate the king, find the traitor in his royal retinue, and protect him from attacks from all sources, to exploration (we've found this island that no one ever knew about before, find out what's there and whether we could settle people there) to anything your imagination can create. There are lots of pre-made adventures published on the net, and you can probably find lots of them for purchase at www.rpgnow.comm. They'll be in PDF format, and generally very readable by JAWS, and presumably by WindowEyes as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: "shaun everiss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 10:52 PM Subject: Re: audyssey: Roll Playing Games. > Tom while I don't know much about dnd I know this. > Levels are your experience. > If you fight enough your level will go up, strength, magic, dexterity, > etc. > Different monsters at different levels can do sertain things, like spell > casting. > When I played dnd the monster you fort was randomly chosen. > Basically if your level matches or is higher than the monster's level you > have a chance of beating it if lower the monster has more chance. > > You could do it that way or have like in last crusade where each class > armour, helth and weapons are seperate. > You will have to buy more things to do that. > At 04:29 p.m. 17/01/2006, you wrote: >>Hi, Allan. >>I just downloaded all of the 3.5 rtf files, and have spent the later >>part of this afternoon ensconced in reading them. >>One of the problems I am having is understanding how to use all that >>wealth of info.
