Remind me, with Dex 16 I roll initiative 1d6+1, right? ANd could you please remind me of surprise effect to combat order. If longbow rate of fire is 2 do roll it twice with surprise bonus? Jan 14, 2026 1:36 am
OOC:
SurpriseIf surprise is a possibility, roll 1d6 for either or both groups, as appropriate. (Roll only once for each side, not for each individual character or monster.) If the result is a 1 or a 2, the group is surprised. If one side is surprised, the other side automatically gets to take actions before the first initiative roll.
A party that includes a Monk or Ranger, however, is surprised only on a roll of 1.
It is possible for both groups to be surprised, effectively canceling out the effect on both sides.
And here is something really nasty: If a group is surprised, each person (or creature) in it has a 1-in-4 chance to drop one or more handheld items!
OOC:
InitiativeEach side rolls a d6 and the side with the highest result is the winner. One roll is made for each side, not for each individual. If this is the first round and one group was surprised, the other side gets to go first automatically, without having to roll a die.
At the beginning of a combat round, each side rolls a d6 for "initiative" — the opportunity to act first. The side with the highest roll wins, and that group acts first.
OOC:
Movement and MissilesIt is up to the Referee whether missile fire includes both shots from a weapon with a rate-of-fire higher than one; a longbow, for example, shoots twice in one round.
In many games, only the first shot is allowed in this phase, with the second shot being fired after melee and spells are resolved.
In this game you may fire your full Rate of Fire on your turn.

Well, I wasn't going to roll for surprise as you can see them but they haven't spotted you. You have the advantage of surprise in this case and get an automatic surprise round.Jan 14, 2026 1:08 pm
OOC:
automatic surprise round sounds fantastic, thanksOOC:
[ +- ] from weapon description
it produces a magical blue glowing arrow when pulled, and as such can be fired twice a round.
The Arc of Deep Blue is a +2 to hit, +2 to damage longbow
The Arc of Deep Blue is a +2 to hit, +2 to damage longbow
And damage is doubled this round if it matters. I guess I got it all right
Rolls
Longbow shoot 1 - (1d20+3+2+4, 1d6+4)
1d20+3+2+4 : (17) + 9 = 26
1d6+4 : (1) + 4 = 5
Longbow shoot 2 - (1d20+3+2+4, 1d6+4)
1d20+3+2+4 : (7) + 9 = 16
1d6+4 : (4) + 4 = 8

The Arc of Deep Blue does not fail Mole. Blue shafts streak through the briny water first crippling one, then the other Ixitzachitl. These are followed closely by a shaft from Varos that rips through the first ray and another from Buisquit that shreds through the second ray. Both are mortally pierced and drift to the ocean floor - lifeless...
