Here's another one while I'm at it.

Here's another one while I'm at it. Has this been tested at high levels much ? I'm wondering if the "disadvantage because he got more HD than you" doesn't break down with big monster. After all, an ogre with 4HD has more HD and a dragon with 20 HD has more HD. So your chances to hit either are identical if you have less HD than either. I realise that's the simulationist me speaking, but it disturbs me a little.

    I ran a few sessions with different highv and very high level groups. One of them with just wizards (that wasn't as crazy as I expected :)
    I'm not bothered by this. From the perspective of a third level character, the ogre is a mortal threat, the dragon is instant death.
    The Black Hack uses a penalty system (subtract your level from the monsters HD) which I've simplified when I removed arithmetics from the game. Maybe you could use that?

    Todor Pichurov That's weird. Let's ask Paolo Greco​ about this. Have you tried on different browsers?
    In the meantime, there's a very outdated version on gdocs here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U8HQ3kLbtqtYC0dKm8488cQ374og-lUr0Jr0P6W_Rc8/edit?usp=drivesdk

    "Instant death" We really need a good plan for the white dragon...

    Todor Pichurov If Meredith at OBS can't help, I'll get back to you with a private preview - it may have to wait until Saturday though, as i'm away from computers for a while.

    The white dragon was already a problem when we started Eric's campaign. In fact it's been our first problem =D

    Magi max But we were playing Whitehack... I'd say MM characters are a bit tougher

    If we don't forget to buy a lot of shield.

    My mistake Eric, of course it was Whitehack.
    Yes, shields are very expendable in MM! I shall take as many as torches. I'll need a third mule :D

    Todor Pichurov It's definitely crunchier. If you're not going to use risk dice for everything, classless characters, or freeform magic and traits, The Black Hack is The Best Hack.
