#1 Drakeotic Dec 22, 2010 22:59:13	Hello, I am a new DM with gamma world. In Fact I am a new dm in general and have a question about player attacks. When a player attacks a creature with a power does that player still have to roll a D20 and add the attack to it? Also with the attack using Ability+level =, does that mean the score to that ability or the mod for the ability? Meaning should they be rolling D20+abilitymod+lvl vs. what ever to land that attack instead of having a constant number for that attack? I am right now playing the beginning campaign that came with the core and playing with family to learn how to run it before taking to my normal d&d group. Any advice and help will be much appreciated.

The "ability + level vs. defense" shorthand really means "1d20 + ability modifier + level" as you figured out. This doesn't change too much (only when they level up) so they can calculate that out beforehand.

Now that I know that, the next time we go to finish the campaign it might make it a little more challenging for them. Thanks again.
