Out of Character

Maybe there are bonus actions that affect standard actions, and using them as standard actions would create a paradox of them affecting themselves? I'm not too familiar to know if there are such actions, but it's what comes to mind immediately as a possible reason. XD

In this topic someone mentioned that bonus actions aren't always narratively faster, too. I guess it depends on specifics, and it's easier to forbid all than list exceptions?

Ah yes that is why I said some would not be viable due to pre- or post- requirements such as the Bonus Action affects your standard Action or one that might need to follow a standard Action. As for them being faster than standard Actions that is actually within the description of what a Bonus Action is supposed to reflect so I would consider a Bonus Action that is not faster than a standard Action to be an error of some sort.

Again I will just hold with it being just another one of those bad totally contradictor elements contained within the guidelines that cause the guidelines to be faulty in places. It is not like it is the first and most likely will not be the last.

Fully understood and I assumed that was what you were doing. I mean determining if this would be an unbalancing change or not would require some rather in-depth research but my gut-feeling is that it would not be unbalancing.

I am so sorry for the silence. I've had some pretty serious work-related issues come up, and I've been pulling some extra shifts until I can get some more staff hired. It's not my intent to slow things down, so I do apologize. I'm just incredibly exhausted after getting home and don't have much left in me to... well, do anything, really. I know that's sort of a cop-out, but I have to prioritize work first and fun second. In the well-meaning intent not to be an albatross, I'm going to bow out. I had a blast, but I can't realistically count on myself to put out a post regularly right now.

Sorry to hear that wonderwaffle, but reality first. Hope things get better as soon as possible

Aw, sad to hear that. I really enjoyed Raskell's character. But yes, real life definitely comes first.

I hope things get easier for you soon, WonderWaffle. And I enjoyed your writing a lot, I'd love it if you rejoin us later! :D Though life's first, of course!

Yes we can leave WonderfulWaffle's PC with the regulars as I would soooo hate to lose my bff -- still if RL takes you away and you cannot return best of wishes -- otherwise hope you can wrap things up well enough to return to at least check in from time to time and once you get a bit more time rejoin us once more.

P.S. And no I did not accidentally misspell your handle ;)

Haha. Poor Melianne! Maybe she can teach 'em the finer points of diplomacy if they're still alive after this.

...she's going to challenge them for a few rounds of strip poker as a demonstration. XD I do have the tool proficiency for it...

Hey guys thank for having me.

Glad to have you onboard! :D
...are you cool with in-character flirting? Asking just in case?

Not a problem, played a lot of games with a lot of crazy things and and lot of crazy ppl, after all that is part of roll playing..

Glad to have you in the game

I'm really amused by our party's lack of in-character cohesion. XD Which is understandable, since different personalities and all that, it's just pretty funny to read. Wonder which way of getting into the village will prevail...

Also, I'm really enjoying all of your writing. :D

Yeah It is utter chaos isn't it? I am enjoying it as well, too many Indians and no chiefs lol

Yeah, it's great - the interactions between the PCs is so fun. I seriously have no idea what's going to happen next.
