Re: Backstab multiplier
Yeah that's a good point if you include any bonuses before you double the damage. Higher-level thieves would, I assume, have weapons with larger damage bonuses. Given that, and with your added damage bonuses, what you have seems playable. I think I would not let a thief sneak in place for a backstab...

Re: Backstab multiplier
Just another thought - in a game like LL that has the advancement charts go up to 20th level, I'd use the full AD&D 1e backstab multipliers, to include x5 damage at levels 13+.

Re: Backstab multiplier
Good question! I had to double-check the AEC as well, because I thought the increasing AD&D 1e backstab multipliers were there - but they are not. I'm not sure why there was never an increasing backstab multiplier in B/X or clones, but I'd just use the ones you posted, as they match 0e and 1e pretty...

Erwin moves in between the Hobgoblin and Fungo. "Open the cage, now is your chance!" he whispers to the Hobbit.

Re: Chapter 5 Into the Fey Realm
Erwin leaps over the table and charges at the Hobgoblin holding Fungo. He attempts to jab the Hobgoblin in the nose with his staff so he will let go of the Hobbit.

Re: Chapter 5 Into the Fey Realm
Seeing Moonglimmer engaged with the noble, Otis turns to Erwin and says "I'm not liking this. And seeing that dwarf in that cage has got my gander up. I'm gettin' ready to go ask this King fella why we're here, and why he's got that guy in the cage. And if that runt Claudius is there, I might stab ...

Re: Chapter 5 Into the Fey Realm
"What a fine blade you have there, master noble, thank you for showing it to me!" Erwin says loudly enough for the King and Queen and everyone else to hear. He grips his staff with one hand and the table edge with his other, lifting the table slightly but enough that his companions notice. He'll fl...
