I don't worry about it at all. If the party wants to ignore the main quest entirely to chase red herrings and random encounters, that's their prerogative. But D&D isn't Skyrim....there should be real (and often dire) consequences to ignoring the main quest for several days. Or even a few...

I prefer fixed ability scores. Skills and feats seem more more representative of training and conditioning to me than experience levels. I feel that a character who "gets stronger" or "becomes more charismatic" does so through training and practice (gaining skill ranks or new feats, improved...

Asgrim_Trollbane: you notice a group of salty-looking adventurers approaching your apple cart. They appear to be returning from a recent exploration, for their equipment carries the marks of fire and battle, and their travel packs are heavy. We will pick up here. See you guys tonight!

Epilogue You treat your injuries as best you can, and gather your spoils from the adventure. You are in no particular hurry to run back to Norrvik, having been through so much already in the ruin. You eat a light meal of dried fish and fruit, and then you open a few bottles of the wine that...

Oh sorry, I didn't see it. I went with your first set of rolls. (Unless you want to run BACK into the burning building and up the stairs to the window...)

Mmmmm....Valkyries and mead...

Odd, you cleared the burning room with only a few singed eyebrows. Sigurd and Loki, you managed to avoid serious damage from the fire, but you were hit by falling debris on the way out for 1d6+1 points of damage. While everyone charged across the burning room, Lars threw the iron candlestick...

Guys, I need you to put your Reflex save bonuses in the rolls, and do them as separate rolls. Like this:

I kinda thought you guys would do that. I'll assume you're taking 20 on the check. After much pain and difficulty, you manage to smash your way past the door. The room beyond is dusty and cluttered with trash, and appears to have been undisturbed for several years. Apparently the goblins...

You head downstairs to the locked door, with the rest of the party lagging behind you. Lars heads to the storeroom while you sort through your lockpicks. *click* The lock did not open. (Open Locks DC 25). Lars et al, you find the following goods: 3 empty barrels 4 empty baskets 2 bedrolls...

Umm...they might. Were you carrying anything flammable (like vials of oil or sheets of paper)? If so, they are probably toast. Your metal and leather equipment should be fine, though.

Yes, but in this instance, you want me to roll high. :)

The goblin snatches it eagerly from you, and studies the surface carefully. Satisfied, he nods curtly at you. "Well done, elf. You might prove worthy of your race after all." Nessedrik leans on the spear handle as if it were a crutch. He studies you for a moment, then his eyes turn to the...

Wow, that's a lot of stuff to ask somebody all at once. First, you are going to need to get his trust before he will tell you anything.The goblin appears confused and frustrated, and cuts you off in the middle of your first question. "Too many questions!" he says, waving his hand. "Sticks and...

1. The thing that Nessedrik calls "his stick" is a masterwork shortspear, made from a mithral spearhead attached to a darkwood shaft. The last time Odd cast a detect magic spell, he noted that it detected faintly of Transmutation magic. 2. The lighthouse keeper's room is actually on the...

If you don't like your rolls, you can use the elite array: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, and 10. Adjust them however you want; one score goes up 1 point for every 2 points that another goes down, yadda yadda. For group searches, I will use the roll for the character with the highest search bonus (Lars...

Testing 123... Character Creation rolls

Okay, here we go. Remember, for out-of-character conversation, be sure to put OOC tags around the text. Otherwise I'll assume it is an action that your character is taking. To your surprise, the battle ended rather quickly...there was a shouted order to attack, there was a rush of flame, there...

And an adorable avatar.

When I get enough free time, this is where I will post the lead-in for our adventures. In the meantime, drop a message in here to let me know that you have found the site.
