Although possible to get a 100 sided die

a d100 is acctualy 2d10 (roll a 10 sided die twice)
The first result is the 10s and the second is the units.

The d10 has numbers 0 to 9 on it.

eg.
5 , 4 = 54
0 , 3 = 3
7 , 0 = 70
0 , 0 = 100

Those rules are.. wierd to say the least.
They dont include factors such as Armour.
And the d100 isnt used in general gameplay, but some DM's use them for treasure generation etc.

d100???? holy crap! lol

I'm not shure the rules i have learnded

and the way i played was that if ur dex was 15 and you wanted to shoot an arrow or something that requierd dex, you would roll a d20. if the roll is higher than ur dex (15 in this exaple) then you failed it. now to add to the fun depending on how close you were to failing the dm would make up a story to go with it. like if i need a roll of 15 or lower, and i get 1, then the hit was very dramatic (but dose same damage). but if i roll 16 then i just bearly missed, infact you might say something like it bounced off there armor...

True true !

going a little more indepth the general rule is:

1)Dungeon master picks / look up etc a Difficulty class(DC) for an action.

eg. Hmm Squib wants to climb the wall, ok DC 15, he has a rope, lets make it 12 then.

2) Player rolls a 20 sided dice (d20) and adds any modifiers

eg. Rolls a 8 has chosen to be skilled in climbing +2, is fairly strong +3 total = 13

3) If result < difficulty = failure,

eg. is 13 < 12 .... no it isnot, i beat the difficulty and therefor climb the wall

EDIT: PS. Im in too :) 3.5 rules yeah ?

While I was at uni some of the people I hung around with used to have long and heated discussions about D&D. It all sounded rather interesting, but I could never really pick up on what was going on. So I guess what I''m trying to say is that I'd love to be a part of it, but I don't really have a clue as to what is happening. :P
