[QUOTE="Jomolungma, post: 6367483, member: 6777812"] I'm in 3 separate 5e PbP games on The Tangled Web. For character sheets, we all posted PDF sheets to a Character Sheets thread and some of us also set up linkable sheets at Myth-Weavers for quick reference with a link to the character page in our signatures. For adv/dis the DM tells us when we have it and we roll twice and he uses the higher/lower roll. The games are going swimmingly. One game is using a battle map system, the other two are entirely TotM. One's a custom campaign, one's the Starter Set, and the other is Hoard of the Dragon Queen. The only thing affecting the games negatively is pace-of-post. Sometimes things drag when people can't or don't post, but that's just PbP, not necessarily 5e. PbP is by far how I'm playing most of my 5e and it's been great so far. Oh, as for proficiencies, etc., we don't specifically mention it in our rolls. That info is in the sheet. Everyone is trusted to reflect their modifiers accurately. I suppose if you were worried you could put in the description of the roll mention of the proficiency. For example, "Dander, particularly proficient in stealth, moves toward the woods and attempts to hide." [/QUOTE]
