[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5218836, member: 60965"] The night remains cool and clear, largely uneventful but for the occasional rustle of a small animal climbing the trees or rustling in the bushes. The stars shine through the treetops, only the occasional rare scudding cloud passing before the crescent of the moon. [sblock=Rule: Passive skill checks/"taking 10"]To require less trips to invisible castle, unless I call for a skill-check specifically, you may use your passive skill for [I]any[/I] skill(i.e. "take 10"). For example, if I post an sblock with the title [B]History 15[/B], and you have a history skill of +8, your passive history would be 18 and you can read it. If I don't want you using passive checks, I'll put [B]History 15(rolled)[/B] to let you know that you can't use passive on that check.[/sblock] [sblock=Rule: Reading sblocks]If I post an sblock with a specific skill DC or to a specific [I]character[/I], please do not read it unless you meet the DC or are playing that character.
