This is the Nuts thread. Its based on D&D 3.5e rules,... but only loosely, and only as a baseline. It's really an anything goes free-for-all, continuous RP thread. If ur interested, say "Hi" or announce yourself and GM or participants will be happy to assist. In the meantime, much of the party just jumped into the Ethereal Plane to murder some shit, cuz why not? We haven't killed anything (well Thez has) in like 3-4 days now (real-time, not game time) and like I said, why not?

The area outside the path is full of thick undergrowth, making movement more difficult (1/4 speed, without incurring penalties). There are some gradually increasing slopes further on, and the area has sparse trees.

Well here's the thing. If you look at the map, there is a city on the other side of the mountains. There's also one a bit to the Northeast past the forest. Mountains also are home to dragons, although not all dragons are small enough to not run like hell from. The path, however, likely leads back to something sentient somewhere, my bet is a village. I have no idea if diplomacy will do well or not

Tracy doesn't actually care what she's doing, as long as she can do things with her husband.
The village seems like the more reasonable venture desu,.just because the characters wouldn't think of venturing at a length attack dragons in their own territory when they don't even know they're there.

I'm still not sure what you mean. Stat (str, dex, etc.) bonuses are +1 for every 2 points above 10 (+1 at 12, +2 at 14, etc.). For skills, each skill pertains to a stat (dex for tumbling, for example) and applies any modifier from it to the check, above the skill level the character has.

Before long a large creature standing on four stilt-like legs emerges from behind some trees about 40' off, from behind a dip in the landscape. It has a birdlike body, round and plump, and its body is about the size of a small pony, balanced atop its legs. Feathers that range in color from brown to red cover its body, its legs end in terrible claws while a glistening beak shines like burnished metal.

Why are you asking Tracy if Trump dismounted or not? My impression was that he did, since Tracy wanted to hide, since otherwise hiding while mounted would have required a bunch of checks that I see none of.
This requires a serious re-iteration of "what happened". Next time this happens, someone is getting nerfed.

For continuity's sake, I'm going with the Tracy dash attack, followed by the Trump opportunity attack. Trump's attack lands, dice plus modifiers,... which kills it. As it runs up on Trump, he slices vigorously into its body, and it goes falls skidding to the ground in a heap. Three more are visible, and others aren't far behind. Initiative roll Trump, Tracy, Birds.

I cannot learn all of these while also needing to study anti-trust law copy-right law professional ethics US naturalization law adminsitrative law relation-back rules in civil procedure while dealing with a laptop that breaks and the daily need to get food. So I do not know all of the rules by heart. I've studied up on the ones that generally apply to my character. Hiding is not one of those things that normally apply to mine. And while mounted combat applies to mine, I have npt studied it very hard. Tracy's faggot knows hiding. He knows mounted combat. Hence, I asked him if under x circumstance it would be necessary to mount or dismount.

The 3 lead birds move more into view and 2 of them squawk while another charges. Another four fill in behind them.
Initial distance is ~40', so no one is range of attack. Movement/support/technical actions only.
>>35213
I know, and I appreciate your position. I'm trying to make combat as fluid and seamless as possible. It worked right up until the "Trump is still mounted" bit, which made the previous impossible, so I'm line-item-vetoing it. Trump has last move in this situation, and the birds have already moved. Tracy has action, but she's not in range to attack.
