We were trying to rescue a party's members old friend, and found him at the site of a dark summoning ritual. We stopped the ritual, but it caused the green slime that was buried beneath us to erupt from the ground.It was a physical challenge, and the DM let us choose the results of our partial victory. A p. victory would either let us escape the area, or save the man (but possible encur a lot of damage or worse). A complete success would get us both, we would get the guy and escape.One of the group had purchased a special elxir that protected agaisnt green slime (we knew about the slime in advance) and he decided to use it all for the challenge. The Dm gave him an 15-20 crit range for the roll, and gave everyone else a +2 bonus for that round.The paladin actually had primordial as a language, so the DM allowed him to use diplomacy to calm down the slime as a one time check. He used astral voice and got a very strong success. The rest of us used acrobatics and endurance to grapple the prison our friend was him and haul it off the caldera of slime before it blew. My wizard used nature to try a ritual on the spot to calm down the process. I failed miserably<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Overall we spent 2 action points and a lot of gold in slime protection, but we got a complete success!!I'm really happy to here about all the little customization I'm hearing from other groups. That's the big point of Obsidian, in the normal system, giving the group a +2 to their rolls for one round would result in a massive swing in results, in Obsidian its just a solid bump.</blockquote>
