hey guys we still going the thing? haven't seen a post in a while

[Imladir]

I can answer if you want? I wanted to let someone else answer before I did again, but...

[Tyg3rW01f]

Every time I get involved in a play-by-post, it dies within two weeks to a month.

[Imladir]

Well I'll answer and we'll see how it goes.

Hi everyone,

sorry for coming back to you so late. I finally admitted to myself that it's not really working out for me to continue my forum games in the long run.
I am sorry if you were worried about me, please rest assured that I am really fine, and there is no reason to worry at all. I just somehow lost touch, and don't feel like returning.

Thank you for your efforts and patience.

All the best,

Nio

hey guys, I just had a thought....we're about to deal with combat soon (spoiler alert there ;) )and I want to layout in advance how I handle it.

post can be in any order once the initiative has been rolled, I'd like to see posts for combat look something like this...

I move to goblin (A) and swing my weapon at them...

(insert dice roll accordingly here)
(insert damage dice roll here)

If it is a spell that has a save of any kind, tell me the spell, the negative outcome (if they lose the DC), and the positive outcome (if they beat the DC) and of course what the DC is and what it's based on.

assume you hit and roll damage already so that when I go to post reactions (ie what everyone's outcomes are in one big post) I don't have to wait for damage rolls which will then slow down combat. These don't have to be long intensive posts, just something you'd say/do around an actual tabletop game.

Also, it seems we're down a cleric (again), so rather than delay the game further, I'm making an NPC cleric that will be introduced...I think you'll like him. ;)

[Imladir]

Works for me.

[DeTess]

Since you're doing the reactions in one big post, can we add conditionals in ours? For example, if we're fighting three goblins and a hobgoblin, and imladir opens with hitting the hobgoblin with a spell, could I say something like 'if the hobgoblin survives/passes his save, I do x, otherwise I do y'?

[sarlon]

Detess, yes that works perfectly

[DeTess]

Tygerwolf, the first post in this thread: https://forums.giantitp.com/showthre...-by-Post-Games explains how to do forum dice-rolls in the spoiler tab under 'Using the Forum Dice Roller'.

[Imladir]

I cannot remember how to do it in post...

forgery check - (1d20+2)[17] treying this again

[Imladir]

Mystery - (1d20)[8]

Here are the mandatory 10 characters before I am allowed to post.

[Imladir]

Mystery - (1d20+5)[24]

Still as mysterious, but this time with +INT.

[DeTess]

Bluff, in case its needed : (1d20+11)[15]

[Tyg3rW01f]

still here, guys... just waiting for everyone to catch up with my screwed up sense of time. Once we get to the next morning after the library, I'll be back to posting.

[Tyg3rW01f]

lets reroll the fort save from earlier... as per Sarlon...
Fortitude(1d20+7)[20]

[sarlon]

we let the fates decide!

(d100)[85]

[DeTess]

I'm reaching for the (metaphorical) initiative dice now, if anyone wants to tackle me before I actually initate stuff, now's the time.

[Imladir]

I was about to too anyway, so…

Initiative - (1d20+4)[20]
Perception - (1d20+11)[25]

[sarlon]

Do that in the IC channel, and lay out what your doing when it's your turn (assume you may not go first. Orc is ready for a fight you wouldn't have to tell him twice, he'll follow your lead.

[DeTess]

Sheesh, a 1 and a 20 XD

I'd have preferred it the other way around though, in all honesty.

Vertigo is a close range spell btw (35 feet range).

[sarlon]

Hey guys, the orc is going to be played by a friend of mine and tygers, so if a new player starts posting do not report them please :)

[DeTess]

A small correction to what I said in the thread: The spell save is actually DC17, (or DC18 if the target is flat-footed) because I have spell focus (illusion).

[sarlon]

won't let me add this roll so this is for the orcs, inictive

Initiative for orc: (1d20+2)[15]

[sarlon]

fort (incase he gets hit) (1d20+10)[26]

[Tyg3rW01f]

will save (1d20+7)[15]

[DeTess]

Oh, I forgot the bonus from haste as well. So that touch attack is at least a 12, and probably a 16 against flat-footed if the guy is properly flanked and can't see invisible people.

[DeTess]

will save: (1d20+6)[14]
