[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5630201, member: 2011"] [OOC]Yes, the side of the ship can be climbed with Athletics. Even the bottom of the ship can be climbed because there are large beams there holding the rings. It's just more dangerous and difficult to do so. Your Athletics check was to carry and move the heavy beam. That's all you stated in your post that Cairn was doing. It was a successful use of the skill, but it did not by itself add a Success to the challenge. Because you rolled so well, I gave Baern a +2 circumstance bonus to brace the beam. Since you did not state that Cairn would be bracing the heavy beam and wrote that he was getting it and carrying it over, I stated in my post that Cairn would be assisting with the bracing and someone else would be bracing it (but johnmeier1 must not have understood my meaning and thought that Baern would be assisting). Because Baern was successful in bracing the beam, I gave the team a Success towards the challenge. People. If you are going to use a skill check for something specific, you have to be clear. Only writing "Athletics" in the IC link or "Arcana" in the IC link doesn't tell me what you are doing. Please write in the IC link specifically what the PC is doing. Write "Athletics to brace the beam" or "Athletics to carry the heavy beam" or "Arcana to aid Nyar". Please be specific in IC and not tell me your intent after the dice is rolled. It's not just the dice that drive the results, it's also what is written down by the players. PS. It's not always one dice roll to get to a Success. Sometimes, a bunch of different skills need to be done before a Success or a Failure can happen. [/OOC] [/QUOTE]
