1d2 - Even/odd works, or flip a coin, or 1-2 on a d4 is 1 and 3-4 on a d4 is 2.1d3 - use a d6, half the result (round up)IMPORTANT NOTE: You cannot do 0 damage with a hut of 1d2 - 1. 1 is the minimum damage of any hit. So the first attack described

I'd recommend reading the PHB before coming here to post. I mean, it's useful. They say it contains the rules of the game. Also, You might want to have a look at the DMG, as it's a purportedly useful Guide to aspiring Dungeon Masters. As a last note,

OK, a brief outline of the combat system: Combat is divided up into turns or rounds. A round of combat is about six seconds long, and in that time you have several types of action:Immediate Action - something you can do at ANY TIME, and consists of s
