    "1d20+bonuses to 1(d20+bonuses)".
    Andy, I don`t want to be rude, because I respect you for yer work done on guide book but can you please tell me the difference between 1d20+bonuses and 1(d20+bonuses)? I really didnt get it.

    EDIT: we roll d20 and get 10 for examole
    bonus is.. lets say 5
    so we have 1*10+5 = 15 and 1*(10+5) = 15
    me no understander, no sirrah

    Dice are explained in the manual, but I'll explain some anyway: in the former formula first you roll one 20-sided die and then add the bonus. In the latter, you roll a die that has 20+bonus sides: if the bonus is 10, you roll a 30-sided die.

    EDIT: In the former formula,if the bonus is +10, the result is always 11 or higher. In the latter, the minimum remains 1.

    You hit Andor Drakon, the ElDeR cHaOs GoD, and severely wound him.
    The greater balor summons some help!
    The ratling duelist disarms you. You drop your blessed Trident of the Red Rooster (+36, 6d12+18) [+12, +12]. It flies to the west.

    Wow, that's the first time I have ever seen TB. And is iAdom supposed to be an Iphone app? Because I love the idea!
    When in darkness, you can always see the light (unless you're in ADOM)

    Most successful combos for me: Grey elf wizards, trollish healers, dark elf beast-fighters, Gnomey monks, and any race barbarians.

    It's called JDND, and is probably the secret J**D project he mentioned a few years ago in his blog: http://www.adom.de/blog/2008/02/08/g...-side-tracked/
