Adventure Across Khorvaire - Reflections

[Mista Collins]

How do you guys want to handle action points? Here are my thoughts.

When there is a roll any of the PCs would normally handle (attacks, saves, majority of the skills, etc), just let me know at what threshold you would want to use an action point. For example, Mr. Fighter has a +5 attack bonus. In battle, he let's me know that if his attack roll (after modifiers is under 15, but over 11), that he wants to use an action point. That way, if the roll is too low or high, he doesn't waste an action point.

I figure rolls where the player wouldn't normal know the results (spot, listen, hide, move silently, disguise, bluff, etc), wouldn't warrant the use of an action point.

What are everyone's thoughts on this? I am now accepting comments, concerns, suggestions, and delicious recipes. All death threats can be fowarded to my enemies.

 

[Starman]

I think your suggestion is reasonable, MC. I vote we go with it.

 

[Velmont]

Too sad that I can't use an action point on a disguise roll

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Sounds like good action point use for battle. Though in my face-to-face group people do use action points even for things they don't know the results of, like what Balance DC they'll need or how well they're Bluffing someone. If they get like say... a 13, sometimes they'll burn an action point just to hopefully be certain they'll cross the bridge or tell a convincing lie. It allows those people that perhaps wouldn't use the combative action points as much to get some extra use out of their points.

Also, I'll submit a delcious recipie!

Gooey Dip
2 medium cans of Hormel chili, no beans
1 medium container of sour cream
Shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread chili in bottom of 9x13" pan (basic brownie pan). Spread sour cream over that. Cover with as much cheese as you like (the more the better!). Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese bubbles. Scoop out with a big spoon or ladle, put into bowls, serve with tortilla chips. Yum!

Reheats really well in the microwave, though keep your bowl covered. You can easily increase the size of the recipie by adding more and more ingredients (three cans of chili instead of two, large sour cream instead of medium), just as long as they cook all the way through, it's all good.

This recipe is a staple at our gaming table. Whenever we get together someone always makes this. It is delicious.

So we have Drigg, Tome & Karmana going to the Chamber of Messengers? Se'ket going out asking the guards some questions?

What about Sven?

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Se'ket was also asking about the disintegration circle and whatnot, but no one has clarified that for her. She (and I) is a little confused about what all people have found in regards to this mystery.

 

[Starman]

Well, Drigg has not discovered anything, yet, so I'm not of much help.

 

[Shayuri]

Ah yes, the circle!

I'll have Tome poke into it.

I want to apologize to everyone. I haven't been able to keep the pace of the game at what I originally stated before it got started. The Master's program I am in has definitely picked up workload-wise, so I've been buried in Accounting books (Tax Law is the WORST!!). If things seem slow, bear with me.
