Current I think I'm Advanced+ level and could do that. But under Adv, I feel compelled to write a certain way and it makes writing feel more like a chore even if it's just in my head. Thus, I prefer Casual

Many people equate "Advanced" to "Big, high effort posts with lots of flowery language." It's a habitual thought I struggle to shake as an RPer with 20+ years of writing experience. It's very draining

The +4 or +3 would be any given modifier. Like if my weapon does 1d6 damage PLUS damage equal to my Strength Modifier, and my Str Mod was "+4" then I would write "1d6+4". The dice roller just adds that number onto the end automatically and gives it to you in the result.

Or if I wanted to make a skill check, I would put in "1d20+[skill check modifier]" like if I wanted to roll Stealth, and my Stealth skill is at +7, I would write "1d20+7"

If I wanted to roll at advantage, I would roll "2d20+7" but could not rely on the total result; because that will just add both d20's together. You have to look at the results page and figure out which result is the higher number and then add the +7 manually.

EDIT: Although I suppose in that last example, if you were rolling at advantage, there's no reason to include the modifier at all since you'll have to add them manually in the end anyway xD

EDIT 2 Extra Example: Looking at your character sheet, let's say Alwin wants to attack a target with his Clan Dagger. You need to roll to hit first, so you would roll "1d20+5" since your weapon's "to hit" modifier is +5.

Then if the GM tells you that that roll hits, you roll the weapon's damage. In this case, the Clan Dagger's damage roll is "1d4+2" so that's what you would roll. And the damage type is labeled as piercing or can be bludgeoning. For this level 1 adventure, damage type probably isn't all that important, but if you play higher levels, that will probably be progressively more important to keep in mind as enemies might resist or be vulnerable to certain damage types.
WHOOPS wrong link, I must have not copied the link like I thought I did give me a moment to fix that xD

EDIT: There we go all fixed. xD
Question: how do I roll a die here in the Dice section? I may be stupid. 😅


Welcome to Digizel the Bui's RPG Dice Tutorialâ„¢


So first you need to go to RPG's Dice Section here and create your own Campaign; you actually can't roll in a "campaign" created by someone else. So make a new one and call it whatever you like as long as you make it clear that it's for this game.

Once you do, it'll show you your stuff above the other public channels so you never lose it. Like this:



And then in your own campaign, you can roll whatever dice you want to as you would in any other dice roller ("1d20+3" for instance), and you can describe what it's for in the other box for clarity if you want.

Then it'll roll those dice for you, and add that roll to the top of the list. You can see the results of your roll right there on the table if that's all you care about. The leftmost column will be the direct link to your roll results. You can click on it to see more in-depth results (like what each die landed on, important if you're looking specifically for a higher or lower result and taking that one). If you copy that link, you can paste it into chat here so that we can all see the result.

It's easiest if you embed that link into a URL tag and just have it show us the number like this:

12. Clicking that link, you can see I rolled a 3, 1, 3, and 5. So if I were using these to generate a character, this stat would be 11 since I remove the lowest result of 1. But if I were just rolling, like...4d6 damage, then I wouldn't need to know more than the ultimate result.

Yes, but it’ll take me a bit of time to post. At work and in middle of family visit.


Oh yeah I know how swamped that kind of thing can make you. Hope things are going well for you, take your time and don't stress yourself out too much~
<Snipped quote by Fading Memory>

Gonna tell you this now: I am genuinely scared about how Raella and Zaraknyvr are going to act when they meet each other.


Hopefully they meet in Tanrith's presence and perhaps his positive vibes will be enough~ xP
By the way, to any lurkers, we're still open to anyone joining our wait list in case one or more of the opening 5 heroes drops out of the adventure.


I feel called out xP

I've been eager to give PF2e a shot; I would love the chance to practice the system before my current D&D group gets the chance to finish what we're doing and transition over to PF. Had one start here a few months ago but it didn't get to go anywhere. So yeah, I wouldn't mind being put on that wait list xD I don't typically like to play full on casters naturally, so a magical school setting is iffy for me, but I find working around limitations only makes the creativity flow more easily, so I'll start thinking about it xD

As for the two day rule, as someone who has fallen out of an RP before due to inactivity, I would probably appreciate the time limit, and give the entire group a reason to move on without me if something comes up. One day is definitely too fast a requirement for me personally. I definitely can't post daily. My vote would probably be more to the three-day limit, but I have no real qualms with two, if that's what everybody else is comfortable with

Suddenly, Tanrith's eyes lit up with understanding. "Oh, that!" he exclaimed with a nod. "Yeah, as somebody the Hunt would like to do nothing more with than put my head on a pike, I'm kinda in the middle of that whole thing in a way." He paused for a moment to consider that. "Erm...well, maybe not the middle? Maybe kinda like...off to the side a bit, but still inside the circle? Or...whatever this shape would be...?" He seemed to contemplate that for another few seconds before realizing just how off-track he was getting. "N-nevermind, the important thing is that's actually how I met the Wylders in the first place."

Tanrith let out a sigh, taking the moment to look down at Zyrech and pat the mechanical dragon on the head. "People like me are being hunted too, so I'm kinda forced to be on the side of the Crusaders. But even still, I think it's pretty dumb to fight amongst themselves like that." He grinned and looked back up at Sarceron again. "Super cool of this Cellach guy to try to work things out between them! Hope he gets somewhere with that. I know a bit about the other factions and sects, but they've never really been my focus. But you Plane-Tenders seem great! Thanks for looking out for my buds!" He bowed his head toward Sarceron at that.

Tanrith turned back toward Faelee with a small smile on his face. "Heh. No offense. I'm sure the Doomguard is plenty cool too. But the name's all...doomy and gloomy, so it's not really a great first impression, y'know?"

Finally, the small blue lizard adjusted himself on Zyrech's back as he decided to get things started. "Though as fun as this is, I guess we should probably actually think about what's going on here now, huh?"
Haha, how's that for a change of pace? The first one to post for a change rather than taking a week plus! The Bui has found his motivation through Shieldwing~ >3
Shieldwing


"...Ah!" Shieldwing exclaimed, noticeably perking up at Rudrick's words, his half-turn stopping in its tracks. He turned back toward the larger dragon, tail wavering in the air behind him. "A-are you sure? W-well, hah, I-I suppose if that's an open invitation, I-I'll be happy to!" He smiled as he watched that wing motion for him and he was quick to fall into place beside him.

But now that led Shieldwing to his next immediate dilemma. How was he supposed to bring this up, exactly...? Should he just, like...ask outright? No, no, wouldn't that just seem like it's coming out of nowhere? No, he's a Brynback! He's supposed to be good at leading conversations and negotiations and what-not, right? At least...he thought so. The many duties of Brynback leadership had always kind of overwhelmed him sometimes and made his head spin. But if he wasn't going to ask outright, how could he lead into it? Argh, where was he even supposed to start...?

"U-um...w-well...heh...I-I was curious, um..." Sheildwing murmured rather nervously. Then, suddenly a thought struck his mind. Ah, that could work! "When we first got here, weren't you with some other drakes or something like that?" he asked. Now that he had a starting question in mind, his confident and formal demeanor was quickly restoring itself. "What were you doing with them? You know, before you saw us with Garrock?"

His head craned upward a bit so that he could look directly up at Rudrick's face. He remembered some sudden conversational etiquette and wanted to make eye contact when conversing...though it was more than that. He was genuinely curious about this. Hopefully, it would lead right into the topic he wanted to truly discuss....
... 'Investigate the ice cream' is not something I expected in this RP but here we are.


Haha, it definitely gives the same kind of vibe as "I Insight check every time a new person says hi to me" xD
