In fact, here's another, easier way we could all do this to ensure our rolls are consistent and easier to find. I could create a new account with Invisible Castle that we'd all use. One big list rather than different ones for each character.

What say you?

As the others have said, you're the one who's mostly keeping track of this, so if that works for you, go for it. How exactly would it work, though? It sounds like there'd be one generic "DE" name that we'd use as our "character name," and the only real difference from the current system is that we'd have to put our PC's name in the Notes field.

For example, if Belarin is using an eyebite attack, I would currently log in, type "Belarin" as the character and type "Eyebite attack" in the Notes. In the suggested system, I'd log in, type "Dark Echelon" (or whatever you pick) as the character and then type "Belarin's Eyebite attack" in the Notes. That about right?

Sorry for coming late to this all. I've been out all day.

Jeff, Kal will not attack if there is a chance of hitting the kid. Instead, he'll delay his action until someone can move the creature away from the kid. As soon as that happens, then Kal will let loose. I'll modify my post accordingly.

Kal's intention was also to use a power that would knock the creature away from the kid, but he's too far away to use it, yet. So if someone else can reach him first, by all means....

Okay, I've created a new account which we can all try out. It takes a while for the site to activate a new account, so I'll let you know when it's usable.

Nahh, it's easier than that. For example, if Belarin was rolling Initiative, you'd do this:



Everyone would log in under the same name (D_Echelon, though I'm still waiting for it to be activated). Then put your character's name for Character Name, DE for campaign, whatever the dice roll is, and use Notes for the gist of what it's for. No need to get detailed about it.

Then when you hit Roll Dice, it brings you to this page:



Copy the BBCode text and paste into your post. Done deal. It would then look like this:

Initiative (1d20+5=6)

Jeff, Condign will try and approach the creature from the left side of the fountain in an effort to flank. I'm assuming someone will run to the right.

That would be Syrdan moving to the right.

Sorry not sure how I double posted but I was able to delete one so all is well. This iTouch is still new to me.

Hey, Jeff. I'm not sure if you acknowledged Kal's request for Tangat or not, which is why I haven't posted anything else, yet. If Tangat is ignoring Kal or just doesn't smell anything, just let me know and I'll move Kal along.

[Jeff]

I haven't posted because not everyone else has. Want to see what Streko's actions will be, specifically since my previous post. Tangat's actions will come then.

Also, I assume you meant this to be in the Chapter 6 Q&A thread? I'm going to lock this thread, since it's outdated now.
