Total is 20?
Now, that's an impressive display.

19 adjusted by two from skill, plus one for outnumbering.alhoon wrote:Total is 20?

So I come out with 22.
But, yeah, better roll.
Nice to have backup.
Forevermore Sancianados!

Re: OOC: Death House (5e)
You have a -2 penalty because of your low ability I think... Isn't Gnarric's charisma at -2?

Re: OOC: Death House (5e)
He is, but the sheet calculated it at total of plus two because of skill.
Unless the generator did it incorrectly.

Re: OOC: Death House (5e)
I dunno how class skills work in this edition.
If you get plus four for taking a class skill, then four minus two comes out as two. Which is what my sheet gives: +2
So roll 19, adjust up by two, adjust up by one for situational modifier.
22
Is that right?

Re: OOC: Death House (5e)
Well, you get +2 for proficiency in the first few levels, not +4.
Hence it's +2 for being trained in it, -2 for charisma penalty = +0.

Huh. I guess the generator messed up.alhoon wrote:Well, you get +2 for proficiency in the first few levels, not +4.

It read CHR 2= +2
Noted.
Still a pretty good roll.

Re: OOC: Death House (5e)
I lurk and check in on this, mostly because I'm prepping to run Curse of Strahd in the near future with Death House as an intro.
So, yeah, totally waiting for those gnomes to blow up and get the party killed. I'm sure its coming soon.

Re: OOC: Death House (5e)
I'm going to hold off on further IC posts, so that Ken can post and roll as he chooses.
But in case the RP conflict is developed/ resolved while I am not online and posting:
Assuming no attacks, " orders", or signs of treachery from the two royalists, GNORRIC will explore the house with the group.
If you need rolls...
Sneakiness
[dice]0[/dice]
Plus 8 stealth
Looking for clues
[dice]1[/dice]
Plus four investigation
Opening locks, drawers, panels, whatever
[dice]2[/dice]
Not sure which skill applies, but he has thief tools, expertise, and 18 dex

I am assuming that no matter how big his bonus is, my effective 20 outmatched that.Ken of Ghastria wrote:For what it's worth, although Vorj wasn't trying to convince anyone as much as state the obvious:
[dice]221007:0[/dice]
So GNORRIC will just grin for a moment and go on with his business, having made his point with the support of his fellow rebels. No need to say anything else right now, unless Vorj gets uppity and starts " ordering" people around again.
If Vorj was trying to " state the obvious" rather than intimidate, I will note that. My PC would react poorly to bullying. But he's not oblivious to possible dangers lurking in this strange , creepy house. He agrees with Vorj about that much, and makes no effort to hide it.

Van accepted the task and plans to not be the classic bossy leader, he wants to prove the point that leaders should be wise enough to listen first and then act unlikely most royalists

Vorj will make an Intelligence (Investigation) check. He's looking at the surface of the oak table by the hearth for signs of recent activity.
