I LOVE SKILL CHECKS!


Roll multiple checks in turns please.

For ease, and for quickness- please roll multiple skills checks when you are attempting some activity. If you're sneaking forward to observe then roll Stealth & Perception.

Likewise if you're taking a turn and think of three things to do, then RP those three things- in the order you want to do them and attach rolls.

By the way, I'm assuming that I have one of the Everburning Torches, since I don't currently carry anything else during combat. I'll pick up a staff within a level or 3, but even then I can use it one-handed until I need it for the occasional melee attack (which will wait on Bracers of Mental Might...).

Speaking of items, Goonalan, how are you handling treasure allocation? Do you want wishlists from us? If you're picking items for us, please make any implement for me into a staff, which I'll be proficient with as soon as I multiclass to Invoker.

Also, I added a list of notable basic attacks in the party to my character post in the Rogue's Gallery, along with possible synergies (and one anti-synergy). If I missed something on your character, please let me know.

Good point.

Magic Item Wish Lists please...

Wish Lists to me please, I'd prefer them via message- I like it when two people pick the same thing... it makes for good party synergy.

Please send me a list of up to 2 Magic Items for levels 1-5, obviously you can just put one down for each level but I'd really like it if you supplied me with one magic Item for every level- don't leave gaps.

And here's a word of warning, you may want to try searching dead people- I'm still stuck in previous editions, I put magic items and coin, (and sometimes clues) on the bad guys. I say this because I don't remember you searching the fallen enemies in your first two fracas- if you wish me to presume that you do this then please, tell me.

My 2cp -- In order to avoid 1) everyone saying they loot the bodies or 2) no one says they loot the bodies because they assumed someone else would, can we assume the 'standard' of when combat is over and assuming time permits, a short rest is taken, immediate heals are handled, and the bodies are searched. Additional checks like "I'm looking for any secret doors" and such handled by specific rolls. Passive perceptions can account for plenty as well (at DM's discretion, as is all things, of course!).

That's the standard from here on in- I just needed someone to say it for it to be real, others feel free to add anything else to this and I'll make sure I'll do it everytime.

Passionately seconded. Repetitive actions are not where the fun lives, so let's get through that stuff and get to the good stuff. :) (I also am not a fan of competing with other players for loot, or in any other way.)

In the case of our first two encounters, I thought it made sense that we didn't necessarily go rooting through our enemies pockets right away. The village was under attack, lives were at stake, and we were merely being good samaritans. So when time is of the essence or looting is uncouth, I think we should have to specify if we're doing any searching. (Note that Freggo did, in fact, go and search the bodies after the guard captain arrived.)

I do very much like when treasure is on enemies! Maybe we can notice when an enemy has gear that is doing something magical or is extra shiny during battle. ^_^
 

Waiting on wish lists (one or two magic items for Level 1 to 5, as in 1 or 2 for each level please) for-

Kali
Viator
Kyalia

Thank you.

Cheers Goonalan
