OOC Chat

I prefer describe my attacks, and letting the DM determine the result based on my dice. This is mostly because I try not to edit posts unless it is to correct or clarify something.

I am of a different school of thought. I edit after my roll to let my actions be reflected by the die roll.

I will usually roll first and then add in description if the result is something known, IE the DM goes 'make a check DC 15' and you roll a 17 or something else successful. If it's an attack I'll just describe the attempt and leave the result up to the DM.

I like to describe the attempt and have DM fill in the details (like you’ve done) I also like rolling attack and damage in same post.

n.b. Greta is raging and so has DR to bludgeoning damage. (She’s pretty much in her element right now!)

I think even if I did know the DC to pass or AC to hit, I still prefer letting the DM describe the results. Sometimes there are hidden factors that may affect the outcome. I don't want to assume that I know what the NPCs will do or how they will react (I also try not to RP any NPCs, unless given express permission to do so).

Instead, I try to write my descriptions of my attempts in such a way as to help the DM process the result.

"Pressing with his legs and pulling his arms forward, the dragonborn strains against the entangling vines," for a STR save. If I write it well enough, it should give the DM an idea of what I think will happen should I succeed, and can add in any external factors in their description of my attempt.

"Summoning all her magical power, the warlock hurls a flurry of eldritch darts towards her target's chest," for an Eldritch Blast attack roll. The DM might pick up on that and not describe a successful attack as hitting the arms and legs, or head.

Well, that is what I meant. If the result involves another target than I prefer leaving the result up to the other party. I more meant if it's like a check to swim or climb something. I roll badly on a deception check I'd give the DM something to bite off of for the NPC's response.

For combat I appreciate the GM's voice, I think they have the wide angle of the situation and they can synthesize the round in an entertaining way that is also clear. Outside combat as we've been doing I think it's a little less crucial but obviously totally up to you!

All fair opinions. I can handle the description of all hits to and from, with you all voicing attempts. It's what I usually do.

Is it possible to actually fall in love with your own PC? lol!

I do it all the time. Each one is a favored child.

She's a beast, this is awesome

*mentally notes that enemies sent at Greta should be five levels higher than normal*

Sorry for not posting yesterday. I had sewage backed up into my house.

Oh man, sorry to hear that!!

Sorry for stepping on Johan's toes!

My action won't change, so just plop it in at the right time.

No worries. This is a good narrative. One that Greta and Johan can bond over. They are both powerful personalities, each in their own right. They protect their own

Halflings get to re-roll 1's

Mmm, I saw his reroll. Technically he wouldn't have made it, but if Johann plays into it, he will.

Question about mage hand. I know I have to speak to cast it, but what about directing it to do things?
