Character's up!
I have a dumb question that's been bugging me for a while: how do you get the grey box with the bold text to appear at the beginning of a post, like both [MENTION=6800384]kuey1975[/MENTION] & [MENTION=95059]Forged Fury[/MENTION] did for their characters in the IC thread?
Thanks,

SG

When you're replying to a thread and you choose to 'Go Advanced' you have the choice to give your post a title, like you would a thread.

 

[Forged Fury]

It's the box for Title, IIRC. You should be able to edit it in after the fact.

Thanks guys!

[sblock=Background]
Agowawere tsyffonji was a scout for the black tide on the fateful day the dragon attacked and fled to with the others. Originally from the steaming jungles of chult he was exiled after an unsuccessful bid for the chieftainhood.

The dark skinned warriors fled north and found employment with the black tide. With him he took the secrets of hi tribes wolf spirit to aid him. Soon they became his new tribe and after the attack he felt as if he had failed them as well.

He is dour and weighed down by the bitter disappointments of his life and often turns to drink.

Recently, the Black Tide was hired to find the leader of a group of bandits, a half-dragon named Rezmir. It was believed that the bandits had been spotted launching raids from the Hill of Lost Souls area. When the Company reached the area, they moved to engage the bandits, but were ambushed by a dragon from the hill. Staying well out of any danger, the dragon was nonetheless able to break the Company, bathing huge swaths of the battlefield in fire. The bandits swept through the remaining force, and then quit the field, moving out to the south.

Having been recovered by Morgan, they decided to retreat and regroup in Scornubel. When they arrived, they were met by a wood elf named Jeni who was looking for Alistair on behalf of another elf from Greenest. Having little in the way of funds to fall back on, the survivors joined with the elf and began their journey to Greenest.[/sblock]

Thanks for your patience, I still need to finish off a bit but the mechanics are up for review. Thanks.

IC thread is up. Everyone check in and we'll get rolling.

 

[kuey1975]

Another newbie question. How do you submit dice rolls? It seems that enworld has a dice roller for the forums, but I can't seem to find it.

 

[hafrogman]

It's gone into detail in a thread in the meta forum, but basically it's
(roll=title)1d20+6(/roll) with [] again.

[Forged Fury]

^ Title is optional. I generally don't even mess with it and put it outside of the tag convention.

Note: You can't edit a roll (the roller will state the roll doesn't match the database). You also can't edit in a roll after a post has been submitted. The roll has to be entered with the original post. You can edit text afterward, but not the roll itself or add an additional roll (if, for instance, you roll a critical hit). If you have to roll additional rolls, they have to go in a new post.

One other note about the dice roller. It doesn't tell you what you actually rolled, just the total. This can be problematic with things like the Great Weapon Fighting style which allow you to reroll 1s and 2s on damage dice.

 

[hafrogman]

You can actually ask it to display the individual results with rollv

edit: although it apparently can't add a constant.
