Default [D&D 5e] Un-Civil Disorder on the Border OOC

Un-Civil Disorder on the Border: OOC Thread.

IC Thread is here!

Basic Housekeeping:
- please keep OOC chatter here.
- remember to pick a color for your character's speech; avoid anything eyewateringly difficult to read like bright yellow or neon green.
- we'll be mostly rolling in the other thread (because occasionally people do forget), just remember to use spoiler tags to keep things visually uncluttered.
- remember, there's an expectation that you will post at least once per day; if you know you're going to be incommunicado, please let me know by PM ahead of time so I can work something out.

Game Rules:
- we're using the D&D Next Playtest Rules as of 8.17; when the next playtest drops in October, we'll be switching to that. Accordingly, make sure you've signed up for the playtest and have a copy within easy access so you can look stuff up.
- Fighters start with 2d4 instead of 1d6 CS dice, and CS dice refresh at the end of your turn, not the beginning of the next.
- Rogue Skill Mastery is switched with Knack: instead of an auto-10, Rogues get Advantage on trained skill Checks and either +3 or ability bonus to add to their skill bonus when rolling. Knack now allows the Rogue to auto take-10 on any check 2x/day.

What I have so far, will get a backstory eventually, though I am not against having the plot expose it or whatever.

Excens, but if there's no character sheet up tomorrow, we'll go with dragonal.

Either way, IC should be open by Friday.

Ok, so I'm just waiting on InfernallyClay's Fighter, and if not, Dragonal01's Fighter, and then we're ready to go.

A couple announcements:
  • One change to the Game Rules; this way, Rogues still have quite a good chance to succeed on skill checks (Advantage and guaranteed +3 to add to trained bonus is pretty substantial), and a get out of jail card if that doesn't work, but there's less auto-success so checks still have some tension and uncertainty to them.
  • As of 8:00 PM PDT, if I don't hear from InfernallyClay, Dragonal01 is accepted and we'll start playing.

And off we go! Hope my little setup about our entrance to the town itself was sufficient, we can make up the story of when and where we all actually met as we go along, I figured.

Uh...ok; I start ya'll talking to Captain Rebus and you backtrack and no one talks to him?

Doing something of a timesplit for a second.

I'm assuming you arrive at the table, roughly as a group, after scoping out the tavern?

Oops. Misread Excens post and thought Robin has lifted the Captain's helmet, but let's roll with it.

Good question... Stats wise it is probably between Harthar and Coleson, and maybe Farkle as well. I'm probably the only one with good Int, Wis, Cha ratio though, so until told otherwise I might step in. If we decide to change to someone else we can always just say it was misdirection. :P

Ok, quick clarification.

I should have done this in house rules, but it's really more of a Rule 0 thing than anything else: when it comes to social interaction, I privilege good roleplaying over dice rolls. So the dice rolls affect how persuasive, compelling, convincing, etc. you are - a good dice roll adds a bonus, a bad roll gives a penalty.

However, the roll is still being applied to your roleplaying; it's not going to determine success or failure on its own.

Since Coulson seemed to also be playing a face-type role, as opposed to the slightly strange wood elf and the fiery-tempered halfling, I'm going to give Dragonal01 a chance to chime in before Captain Rebus responds.

Honestly It was an action i had intended to pursue, but when the opportunity had presented itself.
