I'm no longer a combat virgin! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Just a couple of things, though. With me doing all the rolling, I kinda felt like you were taken out of the equation. Even though you decide tactics and whatnot, most people feel that half the fun is in the rolling.So if people want to roll, I'm happy enough to trust you with the rolls.The only disadvantage would be speed, I think. With me rolling, it seemed to go a lot faster than most combats I've witnessed in PBP's.That said, Gary was giving me multi-round instructions which I'd prefer not to get since things can change WITHIN rounds, let alone through several of them. In this case it worked out well enough but then, I think that was also because of luck of the dice. If Garik had of been hit then would've he provoked an AoO with his punch? Btw, that sneak attack missed by one... what? You didn't know there was a sneak attack in there? Yeah... that's another downside of not rolling yourselves. Although, I guess I could always include all the results in brackets or something.I don't know... remember I'm new at this so I'm open to suggestions.Also, I decided to use proper XP for CR's which you'll probably note simply by seeing most characters are at around 400XP now after the fight in the bar and the 'defeat' of the guards (I ummed and ahhed but ultimately, they were about to shoot you and so the risk was valid, just because you 'won' by using a piece of paper doesn't make the victory any less because of it, the fact that you faced them and came up with a solution was enough... remembering the permit was just one way to win). To be honest, I'm not averse to continuing like this as it seems to be rather novel-like. Ever read a novel and about three-quarters of the way through, said to yourself, "Geez, just half a book ago he was fumbling with that sword and now he's doing all these 'Crane-with-stick-up-butt' manuavers... that was quick!"?Let me know if you think I'm being too generous. It is fast and on reflection, I think I probably should've only given half XP for the encounter with the guards, but retrospect is only good for determining what to do in the future.</blockquote>
