Tracking over rock. Is it too easy?

[Scion]

A fighter is going to have a pretty hard time tracking anyone at DC 11, let alone 20. Are you finished with your web of sophistry yet?

ooohh. untrained, unskilled person will have a hard time tracking.. that is a shocker

With circumstance modifiers yes.. from circumstances.. 35 was just tossed out as the circumstances were not listed, are you saying it is impossible to get up to 35 with circumstances? Why is that? it is possible to go down to 0, why not possible to go up to 40 even with appropriate things?

Please to stop abusing the backdoor, IYKWIMAITYD.

DC 40 base, -1 for every 10 feet away, -5 if distracted. But still, 40 is a very far cry from 20 anyway! 20 anyone can do, 40? not many.

Still the fighter example.

This must be one of those newfangled examples of antilogic I hear they managed to cook up in a particle accelerator the other day.

You, sir, are trolling.

I will tell you when I'm trolling, kid. On the other hand, YOU are STEALING MY SCHTICK.

As for the tracking rules, dc 20 is base for stone. Everyone agrees on that. So how exactly would the pc's or npc's be able to take advantage of CHANGING THE GROUNDS TYPE??

If the ground turns soft, the DC goes down. Most people with a decent grasp of logic are able to understand that.

That is just inane.

The only thing inane here is your inability to construct a coherent paragraph.

There should be any number of different circumstances that can make it easier or harder.

And there are. If you can't see them, that's your own business.

Fighter example again.

Please to stop babbling, or I WILL start trolling.

SCION GETS SOMETHING RIGHT. WEBCAST AT 11.

that is a shocker

Does this mean you're going to stop babbling about the fighter example now?

Easy, character defined, circumstance modifier. This must be too hard for you.

If you want to make it harder for people to spot your invisible person you move farther away.

If you want to make it harder for them to track you.. well.. you hope they roll low.

So casting rock to mud on where the trail is reduces your dc from 20 to 5? You have a very odd campaign. I feel sorry for any people that might be in it, but with random things like that you probably lose players fast.

And there are. If you can't see them, that's your own business.

Name some, so far you have named zero. That would be a nonpositive number. Try to make it go up.

Please to stop babbling, or I WILL start trolling.

You already are, what would change?

hong, you posting examples of things that dont matter in any way, shape, or form does not prove any point for or against.

More trolling. You are spouting random drivel for no reason. Way to go hong. Why is it that you are always like that by the way?

Contribute something useful or just go away. Trolling = bad.

If you want to make it harder for them to track you, you don't step into soft mud when you can walk on top of rock. You go from a DC of 15 to a DC of 20. Or you put on your winged boots and _fly_ for 200 feet, leaving no tracks at all. None of this, moreover, is germane to the original post in this thread, which had a guy _running_ away from a fight, not bothering to hide his trail.

Your inability to get the point leads me to believe that you have formal training in logic.

I feel sorry for any people that might be in it, but with random things like that you probably lose players fast.

How old are you, kid?

Casting pearls before swine is not my schtick.

Well, for one, you have stopped blabbering about the fighter example.

You are right, flying has nothing to do with the original thread. Nor does 'changing the ground to mud or rock'.

The baddy knows the terrain, he knows where he is going, he knows where not to step.. although mistakes can be made.

Also, we know that it is a 'well used' corridor. Traveled very often. There are many doors.

So when the pc's enter they are in an area they havent seen before, there are marks everywhere from previous travel, and all of the doors show sign of fairly recent use.

And that is DC 20???? Somewhere in there at least one of those things has to count for 'something'.
