First Post
As I stated earlier, this is actually my first PbP game, so I'm still learning the pros and cons. The comment on "practically written out" got me thinking, however.Bobitron said:Whoo hoo! I finally did some good this combat. Even though the end was practically written out, it was nice to whack someone with my sword.
Looking back on this combat, and after some discussion with a different group (running an Eberron game), I'd like to propose a change. It makes more sense, both in terms of time and otherwise, for you guys to do most of the rolling of the dice for your characters. That way, you know immediately whether you hit or not, and can post the results. I can be in charge of posting the results of the NPC actions (and rolling the dice for them, of course).
The only rolls that I would insist on making would be any skill check where your success or failure would not be immediately evident. These include all social interaction skill checks (Diplomacy, Intimidate, etc), and skills such as Appraise. But for the rest, be my guest and make the rolls.
I trust you all to be honest about posting your actual rolls, whether you use online rollers or your dice at home.
So how does that sound to all of you?
