On a back stab I allow the rogue to roll two damage die. While a successful sneak attack is like a critical. It does max damage. <br /><br />I feel max damage is right since it gives the back result possible with that weapon.<br /><br />While the rogues backstab attack is a strike to vitals. causing more damage. But still varies in damage.Gaming Roninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253743423151982339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-89505989076642078432010-05-25T09:18:03.464-04:002010-05-25T09:18:03.464-04:00Exactly how I'd do it. ;)

Two damage dice are rolled and the higher is used to determine damage.<br /><br />2. Prone targets lose their DEX bonus to AC and fight at -4. Two damage dice are rolled and the higher is used to determine damage.<br /><br />3. Attacks from above allow an AC10 attack against targets not wearing helmets. Two damage dice are rolled and the higher is used to determine damage.<br /><br />4. Tricks and taunts like throwing sand in an opponent's eyes, insulting them, etc... are usually good for a one-time bonus of +1-2.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-34309463246565618642009-06-24T08:07:38.736-04:002009-06-24T08:07:38.736-04:00I think I'll use a similar rule in my S&W ...I think I'll use a similar rule in my S&W houserules even though I'm going to aim for an 'original D&D' feel rather than the purer S&S approach that you are trying for. Certainly given the lack of mechanical advantages for characters in OD&D or S&W then effective tactics like getting behind your enemies or using surprise need to be rewarded.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587938750309743961noreply@blogger.com
