Works for me. Shem has advantage on Initiative. 😉

Absolutely.

Question for GM, is it okay to assume that Charm always has the free invocation on for 8 temporary extra hit points or must she know a combat is coming to cast it and roll the 1d4+4. To try to persuade to treat as the first case, it can be cast every round she's not otherwise occupied so eventually she would get the roll she wanted for maximizing and it's an invocation for which she gave up the likes of Book of Ancient Secrets so it's supposed to be powerful. To counter myself, she's not the type that would worry or minimax unless her dark passenger controls her enough to keep it cast.

I'm fine with assuming she casts it throughout the day.

So we're in combat now, which begs the question how long do we wait for players to post. I usually go 36 hours and then that character defaults to the dodge action. What do you all think?

That’s fine by me.

Agreed.

Sure.

Block Initiative might speed things up.

I’ll consider it.

:thumbs up:

Best I've played under is rolling over/under for NPC initiative, those that beat it go first, then straightforward block initiative from then on in any order. It can be a problem if GM is playing NPC with skillsets and variable initiatives as diverse as players are though. I will say it's easier and faster which is a much bigger deal in PbP as opposed to tabletop. Depends on what GM has in mind for his encounters.

I may go with that for our next encounter. This game will have a lot of combat (it’s a war after all) so I want to keep us moving at a good pace.

Heyde/Jyn hasn't been online in a week. :(

I’ll post later tonight and keep us moving.

Standing by with Riv! :)

There us a health crisis happening in my extended family that might interfere with my posting. Can't say much else definite atm, but FYI.

Oh no! I hope everyone is okay. Thinking good thoughts for you.
