Ah, so this is just like a communication spell not a manipulation spell. Then, yes, you can choose any attribute, distinction, and skill (and gear if it applies) that makes sense. Again, think of each choice as something that adds to the RP of the action you are writing about. This especially applies since we are still learning about your character.

Okay, will do! Yeah, I just picture plants liking him and so they often naturally come up to him if he lets them. As he wanted to ask them things, he let them know they could hang out on him.

I edited my previous post instead of doing a new one, and added in some lines to hint to why I chose what I chose. I left the rolls separate as I'm not sure if you wanted a final total or the individual rolls.

I am so sorry, I misread your previous post and thought I was waiting for a post from you.

No worries! I was going to leave a post here tomorrow in case that had happened, but you beat me to it.

I just realized I should've awarded a Scene Record for the introduction in the mess hall of The Misfits with Dohavin. Feel free to add a blurb in your character sheet about that scene and add an unspent Scene Record to your sheet.

Will do!

I'd thought I'd done that part right, but I guess I didn't. I'd love some help setting it up and figuring out more on the rules around them. Thanks for the patience @_@

Not a problem! This system is new to you, so it isn't expected that everything should click right away.

As for help, look at the character sheet here for Dohavin. As you can see each Distinction has two SFX: one that can be used to earn a PP (hindrance) and one that can be used by spending PP (benefit). Mechanically speaking, the benefit SFX edits or adjusts dice rolls and you can have each Distinction have the exact same mechanical benefit. However, I would like a little flavor for each benefit by giving it a name that ties it with its distinction.

Let me know if you can't access Dohavin's character sheet and I'll post a copy, though I think there is a posted copy somewhere on one of these forums.

If you could post a copy, that'd be great :) I did a rough search for it but I don't see it around. It may be in the game thread, but not sure.

Flavour I can do :D I'll work on those sometime tonight when I get a good chance to figure stuff out, and then the mechanics aspect when i can see Dohvin's sheet.

In my previous post, I posted as Dohavin:

I can click on his picture and not his name. Just takes me to a page that says character not found.

Thank you for the sheet though :D

@Feirgon Hey, sorry this is taking me a bit. I haven't forgotten, just haven't had the time to sit and wrap my head around it properly. I hope soon my brain will work for it
Mar 1, 2024 5:48 pm
@Miss_Sadie Oh wow, I just looked over your character sheet and I seem to have missed that you actually filled in your SFX benefits...I am so sorry for the confusion. Either I am losing my mind or my sight, but they are there as clear as day.

In any case, A'ramis now has 4 PP to spend and I guess I just wanted to make sure you were aware of how to spend those.

*facepalm*
Mar 1, 2024 5:50 pm
I did? Oh good. That does clear up a lot of my confusion xD

And hey, we all miss stuff. Could have just been tired. I miss a ton of stuff when I'm tired.

When did he get 4 PP?
Mar 1, 2024 7:55 pm
He rolled a 1 on his last check, and I capitalized on it, which nets him another PP. A'ramis started with 3.
Mar 14, 2024 3:05 pm
Would him taking a shot work the same way as other rolls?
Mar 14, 2024 6:41 pm
Yes, you decide an attribute, skill, distinction, and gear (if applicable). Then describe how all these decisions manifest in the attempt.
