Thread for questions, discussion, and chit chat.

Tried to roll an Insight check on my last post.

It didn't work for me.

I'll try again here.

Hmm...

Maybe I'm missing something.

Basic dice, 1d20+3 is the input, "Insight" for name, and still nothing. :-/

Trying: Test, 1d20+3 as input, visibility: Hide Nothing

make sure there are no spaces in the roll

A small request: Could everyone add their PC's to the game library? I kept having to go back to the character creation thread to check what classes etc. everyone was. As I understand it, if the character is in the character library the other players can access the sheet through clicking on the character portrait.

Thanks :)

I set up a new thread with brief details

Thanks :)

I added NPCs that have been named (and revealed the Sgt.s name). I'll try and keep the top post in that thread updated.

What's the game library?

If you click Characters above, then about half way down you should see "Character Library". If you click that, then you can see characters that other players have made public.

You make a character public by clicking the gray book icon (gear/pencil/book/X) in the list of your characters. Red book icons indicate public characters, gray are private, IIRC.

A question regarding grapple: I noticed that other PCs have been attempting to break grapple, then taking an action such as attacking or casting a spell. Normally a character must use its action to break a grapple (SRD pg. 95, Escaping a Grapple), so you should only be able to take a bonus action after breaking free.

It seems like the DM is fine with everyone acting after breaking grapple. I am cool with playing it either way, but just wanted to confirm for next time I am grappled. Thanks!

My interpretation is the same, argyle_ninja. If your action is to break a grapple, then that'd use your action. But the initial grapple check is simply an opposed roll, not an Action. If I may have gotten confused between the two in one or more instances, I'll let it pass rather than retcon it.

Sounds good. Thanks again!

Not sure what happened to CNNWAS and Skydut. I'll NPC them till they pop back up. Waiting in PBP is death to a game.

Sorry. Work cut deep into life today. I usually post during lunch, but that wasn't possible today. Yes, at any time my turn is holding up the game, do what seems best for the group.

Only Monks are so skilled as to do weapon-like damage with their unarmed strikes. Otherwise an unarmed strike does just 1 point of bludgeoning damage: PHB p.149.

Just thought that might be worth pointing out, although I definitely understand that there's a lot more going on in the prison than meets the eye...

As an aside, this is a long weekend in Canada and the US. We typically see a decline in activity on weekends in general, so if we slow down, I'm not going to push it forward until Tuesday.

Has the Americas woken up yet? :p

Last time CNNWAS posted was June 27. I've PM'd them and will NPC Hanson for now.
