[QUOTE="doghead, post: 6040029, member: 8243"] Question 1 As I read it, if you interact with 12 people in a day, you can use it 12 times. If you are in a combat with three opponents, you could use it three times in that encounter, 7 if you also use it on your 4 fellow PC's. The more tricky question is how this would play in PbP. Rolls and results are generally posted at the same time. In fact, you generally don't see the roll, just the result. Posting the rolls first, to allow the Oracle character a chance to use their Misfortune ability to call for a re-roll would be unmanageable. The only way I can see of managing it would be to all the Oracle character to set 'tripwires'. For example, 'If the orc barbarian rolls a 15 or more on his to hit roll, he has to re-roll it.' I am not sure why it is called 'Misfortune'. As I read it, there is no reason why the Oracle cannot use the power to make fellow party members re-roll low rolls in the hope that the re-roll will be better. For example: 'If Bayer rolls a 1 on his to hit roll, he has to re-roll it.' Unless the 'term' creature specifically means a non-PC character. Question 2 Given the 'seat of the pants' nature of the setting, I am open to the idea of re-working characters, even mid-flight if necessary. While I have some ideas, even I am not completely sure how the Netherworld will work. I don't want to see anyone stuck with characters that are not working for them. I want this to be fun. [B]And if it isn't, I want you to tell me.[/B] thotd [/QUOTE]
