[QUOTE="H.M.Gimlord, post: 4974378, member: 79440"] [sblock=OOC]Thanks for asking. I like the fact that you're conscious about realism. This is, however, D&D, so feel free to discuss strategies in OOC spoilers, both for skill challenges and for combat. Having resolved your strategies, however, I suggest trying to find ways to RP how your characters arrived at the strategy. For example: You decide to play to your strengths. Out of character you discuss who will try what skill and what question they would ask. As it turns out let's say Player 1 has a really good idea to see if the trees in a clearing are magical or natural, but his character is a fighter and lacks the necessary skills. Player 2 is a druid and she agrees that she'll have her character take a look. Once the OOC discussion is concluded, Player 1 and Player 2 RP their characters... [COLOR=Gray] [/COLOR][COLOR=Gray]Fighter trips over the root of a tree in the clearing. Druid rushes over to see if he's OK. Upon finding that the Fighter has hurt nothing but his pride, the Druid turns her attention to the tree that caused the mishap. [/COLOR] OK. I know it's a lame example, but you get the idea. In any case, thanks for asking and good luck. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
