Stormreach Chronicle #2

[Amaurea]

Welcome to the Chronicle - a weekly look at what's happening around the forums! Read on for tips, community spotlights, Codemasters info, and more!

This week, many of the inhabitants of Stormreach found themselves unable to get many words out. In actual fact, they could literally only manage three words! So they decided to club together in an attempt to entertain each other, they're currently writing a story. To see how far they've got, check out the 'DDO 3 Word Story' thread.

Be on the look out for the announcement of the next Thread of the Week in the next edition of Stormreach Chronicle!!

No you cant change the odds of rolling a natural 20.

One thing that you may already know is that after you roll the 20.
You need to "confirm" the critical by making one more roll. If this confirmation
roll would hit then the vorpal effect occurs. Otherwise vorpal effect does not occur.
So seeker items can increase your chances to successfully vorpal - such as the Bloodstone.

Hi Amaurea!

Thanks for the good work, I didn't think that we'll get the "polished" version of SC (for short), like US players.

So big thank you, and I hope we'll give you more and more useful threads to quote/link (no only about someones 'in'sanity or other crap spamming ).
