@paladinred Just a clarification are the merry bunch running toward door looking to escape or are actually attacking?

[paladinred]

They are attacking.

Ok I that last roll did not go correctly. It was supposed to be 1d8+1 ×3 however I think what it did was 1x3 then the 1d8+3. That was supposed to be 9 not 6 for the result.

when you roll for crit you do it like I did in my post above. First add, a number, then in the field below multiply, the number. I did it with your numbers if you wanna check. Although mathematically doesn't make sense.

 

Try "Table Entry" and manually write string 1d8+1*3 (that was my second roll)

The last one is I guess 100% correct, do the added roll then multiply in your head x3 (15) which is how you got to 9 I guess, but it is still some kind of bug nonetheless, or we just don't know how to do it 😅

It's not correct though. It is trying to do pemdas and that is not correct as in this case it should be taking the result of the dice roll with its Modifier and then multiply it. The way it is working you might as well do a 1d8+3 because that is what it did. Instead it should do 1d8 + 1= ? Then times that by 3.

 

Looks like my second test is the way to accurately do that.

Hmm well, this is at least mathematically possible, 1d8 roll 7=21+1=22. But it is odd. Do 4E or 5E do multiplication first and then add mod. I could swear one does.

Can not remember 4e or 5e. 3.5e says you roll damage + Modifier and then the multiplier.

[KerlanRayne]

Can you use parenthesis?

 

EDIT: Looks like you can.

Well that was an effective use of a spell slot. 1 cold damage. Hooray.

[Grudge]

Well, at least we manage to hit them they will die...eventually

[Draidden]

Test roll

Yeah, you have to add the parenthesis to the formula in order for it to work right.

@paladinred Not sure on the positioning of everyone. Is there a way I can hit a few of them with Color Spray, without affecting allies?

[paladinred]

@KerlanRayne Sorry but no, everyone is crushed in the doorway so it would not be possible without catching someone.

 

Sorry.

[Grudge]

@paladinred Sorry, it would appear I misunderstood that only Devon was up and technically posted twice in the second round. Do you want me to delete the wrong post and copy/paste it into the right place together with the result (it was a miss)? Or make the new post entirely and you deal with that post as you see fit?

[paladinred]

@Grudge No need, I will take it as your turn for this round.
