Had that moment multiple times last night. My Wednesday group does a sorta-not-AL thing where we play AL adventures plus a few house rules.
The adventure last night pitted us against a Winter Wolf and 4 Dire Wolves. We are a large party (6 characters) that's a bit more powerful than average (everyone got a free Feat at level 1, but otherwise it was standard 27 point buy.) But even then, that encounter had me and the rogue being whack-a-moles for the Winter Wolf and 2 of the Dire Wolves, and the party's fighter, barbarian, and wizard barely survived.
Guys, I have never played or seen anyone play D&D in my life, but I still enjoy the memes for some reason. I've seen people name powers, roll a dice and then scream in agony or joy... But I never know what the hell is going on. I know a higher number is better but I don't know what is done with the number. Can someone explain?
Like, I say "ice shield" and I roll a 15. Then what?
