Starting now I'm going to start posting spoilered roll results. I've weighed the pros and cons of doing this and I think that ultimately the benefits outweigh the downsides. Rolls that would be best served being left in the background (for example - a failed perception roll to notice someone sneaking up on your character) will continue to be unannounced. Certain modifiers (such as the resistance of a target of a spell) will only be marked with X, so you'll not always know what your total dice pool is. The dice pools and success totals of NPCs will not be revealed, even in contested rolls.When it comes to spells I'll always reroll a couple times until you've scored at least one success if time is absolutely no object and there are no consequences for failure. If the number of successes doesn't matter for a spell being cast in such a situation I won't bother rolling or posting roll results and we'll assume you've scored the one success required.Feel free to let me know what you think of this change and to continue suggesting dice pools as Mosier has been doing (no promises that I'll always go with your suggestion, though!).AgnasciAgnasci successfully casts First Impressions.[sblock=First Impressions]Roll: Mind 2 + Gnosis 1 = 2 successes+2 dice to first social roll made with regard to an individual Agnasci is meeting for the first time[/sblock][sblock=Convincing her]Roll: Manipulation 4 + Subterfuge 3 + Striking Looks 1 + First Impressions 2 vs Highest of Empathy/Subterfuge + Composure = Tied with 2 successesAgnasci can continue to try to convince her, at a cumulative -1 penalty for each successive attempt, but she'll become increasingly defensive and uncooperative the more rolls you make[/sblock]The woman stops in the middle of sorting through stacks of booster cards for a popular trading card game called Legend War and looks across the counter at Agnasci. "Andrew? Short kid with glasses? I haven't seen him around in a while, sorry." She shrugs helplessly, eyes back on the packs of cards in her hands as she sorts through them.Agnasci successfully casts Aura Perception on the woman.Her aura is primarily light blue, but with a few darker swirls mixed in throughout, and the whole thing smells of lavender and leather. She doesn't necessarily disbelieve Agnasci, and he doesn't think she's lying to him, but she's likely considering him very carefully even if she seems distracted. He gets the sense that he could probably leave right now and she wouldn't give it a second thought... or he could push the matter.Law and HarperLaw tries to turn on the smoulder with this mystery woman but she remains aloof and otherworldly. "Earnshaw," she answers Harper. "And I guess you wouldn't know yet, huh?"Beep beep!A white taxi has pulled into the parking lot and come to a stop nearby. "That's my ride, fellas!" Earnshaw scurries to the car. "And boys," she shouts back at them just before getting in, "he goes left!"</blockquote>
