[QUOTE="al_fredo, post: 6374429, member: 81597"] So I'll be finishing up Digging next session, and starting prep for AOT. Two questions right off the bat: 1) The Skill Challenge to start. Have DMs told their players the # of needed successes? Seems like you shouldn't really 'know' how good your cover story is...I'm not sure I'm going to tell them, just that they need a certain number. They may want to focus on cover stories just to be sure. I don't know...seems gamey if you tell them exactly what they needed in this set up. 2) On the train. I'm going to assume that some or all of my party goes somewhat undercover. What about Armor and Weapons traveling on a train? If traveling 'first class', would you really be in your full armor and carry sword and shield? Wizards might get away with it...but any melee character is going to way to intimidating (unless they are part of a bodyguard cover). What about gear? Normal adventuring stuff we take for granted, but leisure train travel makes you think. Do I really have that 50' rope with me, all my potions, components, Javelin, armbands, special boots, helms, etc, etc. Does the adventure just assume PCs are fully armed/equipped, and don't sweat the details?
