EMPIRE! CWBG XIII: F5: Document Spirits F10: Summon Balepig, Keeper of Oaths

QUESTION!

Can I change an action that had a failed roll

There is nothing to stop you, but it is generally considered bad form.

I should probably point out those rolls are pretty good, objectively speaking, given they're both higher than average for 2d6.

Oh poop.

I'll be back!!!

[TheDarkDM]

Oh wow, whole new thread already half a day old.

On dragons, I'd be more interested in what Nezet could lift tbh. Can he pick up a warship?

Probably (i'm assuming you mean pick up and carry while flying, because standing on solid ground he absolutely could). Really, it depends how we're quantifying a warship - the sloop sized things we've been working with as basic ocean-faring ships? Almost certainly. The new ships that Aed's tech will allow? I'm less sure of that. Something as large as the Second Wind? Definitely not.

Also, I don't like the forum dice. I try to pull a power play and then everything goes to heck.

What Aed said. Not illegal, but bad form and poor sportsmanship in most cases.

Personally, I'd be okay with it, so long as he doesn't reroll.

Great question that...

Awwwwww.... I wanted paratrooping dreadnaughts carried by Dragons. Maybe with a few more F10s?

Proceed as normal.

I echo those that said it isn't illegal, but is bad form. From a fluff perspective, rounds are 5 years. It seems illogical that you spent 5 years attempting to do something and it didn't work- so then it didn't happen, and something else did?

Saying it is Ok as long as there is no re-roll, opens the door to a whole bunch of potential abuses. Say I go on a missionary kick. I could create six actions to spread the faith to six regions, and then make six rolls. I could pick and choose the strongest rolls, and discard the rest. With the left over, I use them for project/building work.

Even if a roll fails, it still is credited towards skill advancement. So it really isn't a wasted action. I know I failed many, many times on diplomatic colonization rolls. But even the failures helped raise my diplomacy to the point where I succeeded eventually. I think it makes for a good story.

But folks will do it, and there really is no way to enforce not making those kind of changes. I would just encourage everyone not to in the spirit of fair play.

Let me rephrase.

I'm okay with it so long as the action is a completely different one, and he's not using the opportunity to make a different roll.

I'd still recommend saving rolls until the last minute, and yeah, it's bad form.

[zabbarot]

I've always treated rolling as if it meant an action was locked from that point forward.

I edit my action post often, and don't actually roll for anything 'til towards the end of the round when I'm sure that's what I want to do with the action. Otherwise I agree with murgen on this.

Pseudo ninja'd by HT You posted between me refreshing the page and hitting reply.

Edit: nevermind... I just looked at the time stamps and realized that I must not have refreshed the page at all. : |

Whoo! I have finally (partially) updated my Ruler Family Tree. It is still missing a few people and their birthdates, but everyone in the line of succession is is noted but the current heir.

I knew I was forgetting something...

So that bumps my 15 up to a 16, and I can colonize 160. That was a derp.

Unfortunately, however, you don't have the resources to use the printing press.
