Who simply says, "Ha! I kill the *whatever*. Here are my rolls.I have a stated particular for any action that might involve engagement, especially in a PbP where statements are readily made out of order:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1) All Players state intentions of Characters. 2) Players make rolls concerning the actions of those intentions. 3) I make rolls concerning the results. (There may be applicable modifiers unknown to the player.)</li> </ul>On the opposite of capricious, I employ what I call the Mulligan Rule:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">If a player or players continually make poor dice rolls I allow them the roll 2 sets and take the more advantageous.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I use this automatically in beginning campaigns.</li> </ul>Gaming is meant to be fun!PS. I don't care for variant races either. It tends to unbalance game settings.</blockquote>
