@Neurotic I added (edited)a little something in response to your post in the IC that I'd meant to put in when I posted.

Triple Post: I just rolled for everyone for the last round who hadn't gone yet. Round 2 is started.

End of Round 1 Caer, just moments before the Cloud appears tries to thornwhip the warrior into the pit but misses.1 Stratus slashes the warrior, which would be a perfect attack but he brings his sword up at the last moment and he parries the blow.2 That's when the fog appears blocking...

Actually, also @FitzTheRuke hasnt acted yet either

I was kind of hoping @Snarf Zagyg would have posted over the weekend. I’m going to move on to the next round today (once my kids go to school)

There’s literally no way for any enemies to interact with the fog so you will have full cover for the rest of the battle.

I’m trying to remember what we decided. You need to interact with it to disbelieve it. I think it typically takes an action but since you guys expect it, you don’t need to spend an action. I think? I’ll have to go through this thread.

The fog appears and, for the moment, no-one can see past the illusion.

I mean, I tried to explain to you what I was intending to say. Like, I literally said I was using the example as an over exaggeration and, obviously, to you, it did not have the intended point I was trying to convey. I’m not really interested in turning it into a side conversation.

I literally have as a player witnessed this. Someone with super high Diplomacy walking all over social encounters because the DM allowed it. As a DM, I have also had players (actually the same player) try to convince me they should be able to do it also. (I don’t play with that group...

If you look in the background of the clips, you see scenes where only a few of them are left. Feels a bit spoilery to know who goes first and who makes it further in the movie.

I just wanted to point out that people use single persuasion rolls to do improbably things that should take time and discussion.

Yeah, but that's not really the way to do it. Usually the conversation should adjust the difficulty a bit. Or be limited to a couple of rolls - maybe each successful one changing the person's reaction score for the better. Obviously, people have goals and desires. If the PCs can meet any...

I think a lot of people do the one roll for social encounters. I see social encounters needing multiple rolls as people talk back and forth. But many DMs will rule, “make a persuasion check to get the bandits to let you pass” Which might be appropriate but the other end of the spectrum is...

True. Like Rogue Trader where your actions affect whole planets.

A) Define the task, method and time required B) Let time pass C) Roll D) Describe success or failure based on the task and method the players defined. Introduce complications.

I semi-agree. To me "goal or intent" rolls seem to fit extended tests. I would never say, "Make a roll and if you succeed you blackmail the Baron" (as described in the OP) If I'm not going to make it an entire adventure, I'd have several rolls towards specific goals over time. Player: I...

Save vs grapple: 1D20+3 = [12]+3 = 15 Edit: you can't move diagonally through the door and you need to move at least 10 feet before the jump if you want to cross the pit safely. Therefore, you can't attack the guy anyways - not that it mattered, he made his save. You are next to him. Do you...

I need to comment on this again, There is a beacon IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS ROOM. They are ignoring it and focused on a magically sealed door at the other end of the room.
