It's a die roller, damage and initiatve tracker for DM's It rolls Monster dice automatically (DM still decides who each monster attacks) while allowing the players to roll their own dice. No more rolling the initiative for 17 Drow, the computer handles all the 'donkey' work for you. Other intersting features are: The calendar Events (bassed on calendar) Hit point regeneration Random seasonaly weighted weather patterns The ability to attack from the rear Attacks with multiple weapons Natural attacks Movement calculator Dice module can be called from the shell Potion description module What it does! Bigby's Helping Hand is designed to ease the load on the DM during battles in the AD&D game system. It does this by tracking the die rolls of monsters for attacks and damages while still allowing the players to roll their own. It also tracks initiative roll and this is used along with weapon speed to select the next attack. Curently there is an option to include a Dexterity bonus to the initiative (As per the reaxtion adjustment). eg: Player initiative = 4, monsters = 6 Player one has one attack, Weapon speed is 5, goes on 9
Player two has two attacks, weapon speed is 4, goes on 8 & 12
Monster one has three attacks with claws, speed 0, all on 6
Monster two has one attack, weapon speed 4, goes on 10
Monster one gets the first three attacks. Player two gets an attack. Player one gets an attack. Monster two gets an attack. Player two gets an attack.
