Yes, and that's just one courtyard. The whole thing is pretty big, about 1 mile long and 1 kilometer wide. Numerous gates and courtyards and you had to be higher and higher level of person to pass thru. Commoners were only allowed into the first courtyard. Interestingly once you were accepted to work inside you were never allowed to leave. You spent your whole life there.
Well from a practical point of view, less chance of undue influence, and or slipping something in appropriate into the city if you are never allowed to leave.
Let's deal with roll20 here. It always takes a bit of setup to get started. It's clear as mud for a bit. We're not playing there so it's a small fraction of the work to set up what we'll use compared to what would be needed in a real time forum. Maybe we'll do that later.
Note that in the image, the party is all the way to the left with the exception of Davroar and Whisper. Davroar is positioned to the north at the rubble and whisper to the south on the arrow slit. The rest of the party is really further away, up to 40 feet or so. At least Jaliera needs to be within 100 ft of Whisper.
For now, the attached graphic will help you figure out the most important parts. I annotated some of the important parts. If you don't see something like this, please screen-shot what you have so I can see and help you figure it out.
You should all be able to control your token. All we're using this for is to move tokens around the map at this time. As an FYI, I'm using "fog of war" to hide undiscovered areas in the map.
Ahhh ... it was the 'join' button. It seemed more like it was to go somewhere else, a different game <sigh> So now I see that I am beside myself <chuckle>
How do I get rid of the big player icons at the bottom of the page?
Just a quick apology about this week. I'm going to be very slow. As I said in the *** Members availability *** thread, my big fantasy baseball auction/draft is this weekend. I'm busy crunching all kinds of statistics so I won't be back (mentally) really until Sunday. I asked Zeim to pick up the slack but he's over his head with work too.
MikeD: [[ is there a way to get the character names show up by the pics the way my name showed up by my pic for me?? Unfortunately I am having trouble keeping track just by the pics. ]]
Zeim: Yes. If each player goes to Roll20 and selects their token on the map, a group of 5 different "circles" will pop up.
If you select the one that looks like a "gear" it open an "Edit Token" box with 2 tabs.
Choose the "Advanced" tab and you will see a line of items running vertically on the left side. They each have check boxes labelled "See".
If you check this box it allows other players to "see" that item on the map (otherwise only you can see it for your pc).
Check the See box for "Name" and it should allow everyone else to see your pc name on the map.
BTW, this Edit Token also allows you to use the "Bars" option. These are the three circles across the top of the pc when you select the token. These can be used to display the pcs's AC, Movement, and HPs. Those bars have two boxes for data, one shows the Max value and the other the current value so you can get a graphical view of each pc's current health if you use it (and of course you have to check the "See" box on the advanced tab so others can see it.
Nep's not asking anyone to use it, but I thought I'd point it out.
Miked: [[ Soooo ... nothing that =I= can do <sigh>
FWIW, I tried to do it for my char and ... only one tab ... not two <sigh> But I do have a name option ... and it shows 'Bern' which I see. I am guessing that everyone else will see the same. How do we get that to be visible to the others?? :-/
I can see why this has =not= become 'main stream' <chuckle> ]]
Not sure if you can take a 20 in this edition, but rolling almost every 10 feet almost guarantees a fail at some point. Is there anything that gives an approximate distance that requires only one roll. This 10 feet at a time is because we are using a map (not realistic) and have to pause to glance around a corner where in reality movement would be more continuous?
I usually ask at an important juncture, which this is. That's why I asked and that's also why you probably said "I'm being quiet"
If I can use passive perception (the equivalent of take-10) I would, but neither Jaliera or Bern have passive perceptions that can achieve a "moderate" difficulty class (15). Note that both Jaliera and Bern have Passive Perceptions of 14.
When looking for hidden things we start with a DC of 15. If what you are looking for has stealth, it becomes an opposed roll. Your Perception must equal or exceed the stealth roll of the opponent. The goblins have +6 stealth so they will roll from 7-26 and average out at about 16.
There is no take-20.
As an FYI, this is how DC is determined:
Code:
Task DC
Very easy 5
Easy 10
Moderate 15
Hard 20
Very hard 25
Nearly impossible 30
In this situation, the DC I'm looking for is "Hard". If you get lucky and roll well, you might get a nice benefit
