Like you said, it is a beta...

In any case, random is random.... so having tarlyn's name there is irritating, but ultimately doesn't matter much. (though I wonder if he'd rolled a different number or size die how it would show up in your post!)

I know I am irritating but hey, that is life :P

I don't know what happened but I do like the new board. Maybe next time Nerit and I can co-ordinate our rolls ? :lucas: :lucas:

If that is the case, it seems it could be exploited by repeatedly making private posts with rolls until a good one came up, then deleting that thread and immediately posting in a public thread.

Private messages. Cronax, from what I understand, you can only roll the dice in a game thread, i'e the Cafe de Nuit thread or

Ravenloft:Origins thread. Game threads. Maybe Ron can explain it better?

yes, dice cannot be rolled in PM's, only in the Roleplaying Boards. Cafe de Nuit, Ravenloft: Origins, Evening with the Frat, and Halfling tells a tale.

Still, a similar exploit might be found... :/

Actually, I'm only down 2. I already took a healing surge when we all started running from the wraiths.

Unless I misunderstood how the encounter worked, you don't gain HP for the healing surge you lost from your consequence. That's a lost surge, not a spent one.

You can't spend healing surges to recover HP on your own during an encounter, so unless someone else healed you or you used your second wind, you didn't recover those HP.

Just as a head's up everyone, I've added some NPC character briefs to the Rules and Rerolls thread: Andre, Gauvain, Reine, Guy, and the Mirror Lady.

Nerit, Cronax... I can't help but feel that you just told Mr. Dead-Eyes more than he needed to know. >_<

With regards to Agale... seeing as Gauvain ordered you to get the Book and the name, not telling him is a good way to see just how thoroughly Gauvain can dismantle your lives.

With regards to Nerit... she is performing a valuable public service. :wink:
