I love that you can get excited about botching rolls, and especially that the system REQUIRES you to try stuff that's probably out of your reach to learn and grow. And most of the skills/stats that you roll help you even if you're screwing it up.

Plus, when you have the few unique skills/stats like Faith where you have to SUCCEED on a roll to earn your Test for it, it makes it very difficult to advance it, which totally makes sense. To advance Faith, I'm going to have to save up my artha and blow it in a burst, and hope I get lucky. It makes for very dramatic rolls :)

It's very interesting. I haven't played anything like it, and honestly haven't spent as much time learning the system as I could have. I'll get there.

I thought you had to succeed to earn the test. You can fail and still count it?

p.43 "With a few exceptions, tests for advancement are earned whether the character was successful or not. Pass or fail, a test is earned."

Perception, Resources, and Faith are the exceptions.

On my sheet I noted those three specifically to the right of the "XP" block for each ability.

Alright... updated my sheet to mirror Adom's

Yeah, I tried to front-load as much of the effort as possible on the sheet. I figured I'd put in the effort to make an easy-to-track sheet early on so it's easy later.

No, an individual test only counts towards one thing.

Yea origami's sheet makes it very easy to track rolls i think! Also this scene is going bad very fast... If this mesmerize doesn't work and Ipwet's bullying doesn't work she may very well resort to punching her way out...

Yeah, I think we might be starting our adventure by running the hell out of town. :)

Going to ground certainly seems like it's a good option. I've got to get my book and reference the song being used but I'll get a post up shortly.

Oh man, another tie! Would we be considered the defenders in this situation?

It's not a Vs test, i gave you an Ob to hit. So if you meet that Ob you succeed.

Sounds like at some point Adom is going to be suggesting that we go visit a temple of Sobek, the gator god. I'll wait on that post for a bit in case anybody wants to react to his little grudgingly nicey-niceness.

I'll let the RP go for a bit as well. If anyone else has questions they want answered let me know and we can find an answer. I like the direction Adom is heading.

He's still very much an asshole, but I think we'll learn a lot about why. The failed relationship with Amenset probably hurt him deeply, and I imagine he's incredibly lonely. Looking forward to the moment when he goes full asshole on behalf of the group instead of at them.

LOL. Cue the mission impossible music.

Ah, I missed that we'd opened another thread. That's what I get for relying on the subscription emails :)

Yea, sorry I've been mulling over a post in my head but I've actually been busy at work today (for once) ;)

Ok. You mind if I jump in first?

Not at all!
