The Dice Giveth... -
The Dice Giveth...If the sneaking person rolls a 13 +12, yeah it would be DC25 to see them. If they rolled a 1 the DC would be 13 -
The Dice Giveth...>Nope. 1/20 is much less regular than 5/20 or even 19/20. What do you mean here? Any roll is as likely as any other Do you mean 2-20 is more likely than rolling a 1? Of course it is, but an invisible rogue sneaking at +15 shouldn't be seen by the monster who's -4 to spot 1 in 20 events, or if 20s are also special, 1 in 10 events (one for the rogue getting a 1, one for monster getting a 20) -
The Dice Giveth...That's the only way I'm willing to house rule this. If 1 fails regardless, 20 succeeds regardless But I prefer to call things easy or impossible -
The Dice Giveth...A simple knot like the bowline you'd tie around a sturdy tree before descending by rope into a hole That's exactly the sort of thing a DM would set as DC10 -
The Dice Giveth...Swipe typo. Corrected now -
The Dice Giveth...Isn't that right foot easy stuff? Skilled characters also see harder challenges, disarming a dc20 trap for example Why should they fail to tie a simple knot on a +5, dc5 use rope check 1 in 20 times? -
The Dice Giveth...Yeah and free parking jackpot breaks monopoly by making the game run for hours Failed skill checks on 1 break d&d by making skilled people fail regularly just as less skilled people do. I also play in the Palladium system where skill checks are on percentile dice and also don't fail on a minimum roll -
The Dice Giveth...When you're +12 to stealth a 1 isn't that critical -
Splitting the party from session 1I got let off in my game (second session tonight). I found that I belong to the party's pack yak. He's a holy yak and my monk is his protector. Party needs its yak. -
Keeping an open mindMaybe as autocorrect becomes more LLM powered it will get better at correcting spelling of similar words -
Keeping an open mindI feel like it's really hard for people who learnt after smartphones. When autocomplete gets it wrong they don't notice Obviously the way of remembering which is which is "you're" is short for "you are" (hence the apostrophe) and "your" isn't. But they also need to practice while keeping that rule in mind English as a second language people seem to do better than first language users
