It's all about choices. What we think, what we experience, and how we decide. What tempts us? What harms us? What redeems us? Roleplaying makes it all important. Dice can't dictate that. I'm glad you're all enjoying it and throwing so much character in your characters.Which brings me to something else: Powers Checks. If you haven't played in Ravenloft before, here's the skinny: Evil acts are both rewarded and punished. If you perform something shady or wrong... things might notice. I play it so that it's required that the act is actually decided upon by the player; Calahan's vicious attack on the corpse got a check, but Ru's confused roll-of-the-dice attack on the child did not. So far, there hasn't been a problem with it. The more minor the action, the less likely a check means anything. So, for example, an attack on a corpse is far less likely to result in dark powers noticing you than, say, an attack on someone who hasn't done anything wrong, and is likely a victim herself.By the way, Darian now has a permanent +2 dark bonus to all Gather Information and Sense Motive checks.  He's also changed somehow, but I'll let it get found out how IC. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></blockquote>
