D&D 5E [5E][OOC] Across the Faerun-iverse

[Kobold Stew]

Thank you -- I had not understood this. The visual helps. Sorry, everyone. Nothing to see here. Move along...

 

[Egon]

Schmoe, can you please provide a Stealth roll for creeping up on the Goblins?

And can someone help me understand how the Mention tag works please?

And can someone help me understand how the Mention tag works please?

If you type @ followed by someone's username, the system will parse that into a mention tag which is manually something like {mention=userid#} So I'd say [MENTION=6800672]Egon[/MENTION] but if you quote this post you'll see the vbulletin tag it creates. Then that person will get a mention notice pointing out the thread/post to them. If they have e-mail alerts turned on, they'll get e-mailed as well.

 

[Forged Fury]

It also somehow knows how to handle first and last names, like [MENTION=23484]Kobold Stew[/MENTION]

 

[Schmoe]

Sure thing. Do I get advantage for the sound of the river masking my movement and the intervening trees?

[roll0]

[roll1] *just in case

 

[Forged Fury]

Sine Gnash is wearing chain mail, he actually has disadvantage on the roll, but since you rolled twice, that works anyway. Given they're both good rolls, it looks like fate wanted Gnash to be stealthy.

 

[Schmoe]

I'm definitely no expert on 5e rules, but I thought the armor disadvantage was only if your Strength is not high enough for the armor you are wearing. Am I missing something? Either way, I'm fine with whatever Egon decides regarding advantage.

 

[Forged Fury]

If you aren't strong enough for your armor, it drops your speed 10 feet. The Stealth Disadvantage applies regardless. The only thing that mitigates it (at least for Medium Armor) is the Medium Armor Mastery feat. I think there are special materials in the DMG that may also mitigate the penalty.

Heavy Armor. Heavier armor interferes with the
wearer’s ability to move quickly, stealthily, and freely.
If the Armor table shows “Str 13” or “Str 15” in the
Strength column for an armor type, the armor reduces
the wearer’s speed by 10 feet unless the wearer has a
Strength score equal to or higher than the listed score.

Stealth. If the Armor table shows “Disadvantage” in
the Stealth column, the wearer has disadvantage on
Dexterity (Stealth) checks.

They're two different sections.

 

[Schmoe]

Thanks, that clears it up!

 

[Egon]

Sorry for not posting today; work kicked me hard. I'll have a post up tomorrow.

If anyone who is going to attack - provided you have stealth on your side - wants to add attack and damage rolls to speed things up, please do so.
