[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5693886, member: 16069"] Remember the picture you are looking at (the Health meter) is from when the creature had been hit by Velani only, I didn't update the map for when Ah-shahran/Kyalia did another 12 points of damage. If you could see that image now you would note that the creature has taken over a third of its total HP already... Just had a look at the above image, when the creature has only taken 10 HP damage from Velani, if you look up close you can see a dotted line- that's the start of the creatures token- part of it is being covered by the blue aura around Velani's tokan- therefore a bit of the creature's empty health bar is hidden from sight (while next to Velani). Issue 1- Actually the entire conversation about Health bars is a little worrying, alright not worrying let me explain- I put the health bars on show particularly for my other group- who had a habit at times of letting the Paladin with 4 HP get in to combat... I thought seeing their Health bars would nudge them in to doing something about the problem. Now I'm concerned that you are judging who to fight in an encounter based on the status of their health bar (and a guestimate of their Hit Points). Congrats on being smart enough to do this but is it too much, should I remove the Health bars so that you have to rely on gut feeling rather than... a viewable Health Bar? Any opinions please? Issue 2- I think Viator is enjoying his holiday, if he hasn't moved by midnight tonight can someone bot him for a turn, or else I will with a bit of Dimensional Scramble- or something else? Any suggestions? Issue 3- I'd like to keep the Goken slot open until the end of this adventure, he hasn't replied to any of my messages still. If he's still not back then we need to make a decision- get a new player, or else change down to 5 PCs. Just wanted to broach the subject. Cheers PDR [/QUOTE]
