RP'ing dice roll suggestion

Ok, after doing a search of the posts, I was dumbfounded that nothing popped up about rolling dice.

If you want to make rp'ing stronger, allow ability and skill rolls from the dice. All I see now, is just straight polygon dice rolls. A skill roll, takes a a d20 and adds the skill modifier. It makes it nice when you try to rp that you spotted something, arm wrestle with strength, or compare Deception rolls to see who’s been convinced or fooled. And it also comes in handy for people who want to dodge my snowballs. ;D

(BTW, all the new dice rolls can be from the emote wand, too.)

First of all welcome to Fredian Amanda. We have tried to keep things fairly simple in that respect on Fredian, and the emote wand currently in, does do dice rolls. I looked once at the dice bag that was in DMFI I think it was, bugged at the time, and, I truly dislike DMFI in all ways anyway, we made our own sets of what we needed. This being said, IF there was a HUGE demand for a dice roll set, I don't think there is from experience over the last 2 yrs of running a NWN server, then, I would consider ramping a request to addicted for one, as he would be the only one who could make such a thing for me.

In the meantime, the emote wand, as I said, does do them.

Welcome Amanda!

You will find that some players do alot of stuff with die rolls, others do not at all. Mostly has to do with what croud youre around with. Makz haas it that way by design as he made this world to be for RPers and Hack & Slashers alike.

Personally, I recommend using the emote wand dice for things that are important or if you really wish to make your fairness known. Otherwise use table dice at your computer desk. I do that all the time with my character Vugor to check and see if he can make mental connections that I think are above his sub-standard intellect. Flows a little smoother than using the wand:
Me: "Vugor rolls a D20 and recieves a 3"
Them: "ooc: What just happened"
Me: "ooc: Oh, Vugor just didnt think of something."

edit: Almost forgot, actually there is one refenece to using the emote dice in reguards to PvP death. If you wish to see f you can remember the specifics of your death from PvP combat, you must:
1. Not respawn
2. Publicly roll 11 or better on a D20 (much preferably in view of your slayer)
Other than this single rule, dice are optional.

Ok one question how do you USE the emote wand when you are dead?
You are able to talk when you are dead but not able to use any items. If you could you would be able to heal yourself.

Sorak:

You have to be raised first by your attacker or another player and then make the check. EVen if you fail, another kind soul might tell you ICly what happened so you can take revenge

If you respawn, it counts as rolling 10 or lower

[Silentus]

No no, not when youre dead - after you are raised/rezed. If you respawn instead it is assumed that you don't know it.

I have
No where in there does it say anything about being raised/rezed by your killer or anyone else, just that you need to roll the d20.
That is why I was confused.

[Silentus]

Doh! Ill get that fixed within minutes. Sorry Sorek

[Silentus]

Waaaait aaa minute! Sorry Sorek, but you're wrong, kinda - heres the excerpt:

12. PVP - IC COMBAT: IC (in character) fighting with another player character is acceptable if the agressor has verified:
.....I. That there is a RP reason for the conflict (I thier race thier race on sight is not good enough)
.....II. The defender is of moderate or higher experience to the aggressor (examine opponent to determine)
.....III.The defender is above level 5 (we do not wish to scare off newbies)
Obviously if both parties agree to this coopertivly the moderate & 5th level restrictions may be ignored.
.....a. Anyone slain in the course of RP must (in the presence of the killer) roll a D20 on the emote wand anything under 10 means they have no recollection of it on being raised, and therefore may not seek retribution.
.....b. Respawn after being killed in PvP is counts as end of PvP and complete loss of knowlege of how death occured.
.....c. Pickpocketing rules apply here, only 2 pickpocket attempts per game day on any single characeter - dead or alive. You are only entitled to 1 item per attempt (bags may not be taken unless empty). You are ABSOLUTELY NOT entitled to all thier equipment without the other players permission.

By implication the only way that your could avoid step b. is by being rezed/raised. I'll still modify the text a little for clarity though - this is definately an issue that we want to be understood by all.

Hehehe, fix the typo's while you're at it

#5 and #12

#5 says "me" instead of "be"

#12 says "I thier race thier race" ... sounds redundant ... and it should be "their"

Anywho, just thought I'd join the grammar nazi wagon... *hops on cart with a few other Fredians who know who they are* ;D

edited for spelling

[Silentus]

*Pulls Lumix carcass of the wagon and jumps up and downon it a few times*

Thanks Lumix, #5 was a quick nothing type fix, but #12 was really messed up to the point of being unintelligable.

Modified it from:
(I thier race thier race on sight is not good enough)

To:
(not race related though - 'I hate their race and always attack that race on sight' is not valid for PvP)

(Spell checked the whole thing externally while I was at it too to keep you off my back - It is the most important post after all, guess it shouldn't have to suffer the fact that I mislearned THEIR when I was in grade school and always type THIER without thinking)

[Makzimia]

Gone a bit off topic, but, he should be glad Vugor didn't do it .... beside tell that little bard to shoosh up, or Merrick will whoop his butt .

.....a. Anyone slain in the course of RP must (in the presence of the killer) roll a D20 on the emote wand anything under 10 means they have no recollection of it on being raised, and therefore may not seek retribution.

recollection of it on being raised implies that the person is still dead when rolling the d20. So if you are RPing and kill someone you have to spend a scroll and res them so they can roll a d20 to see if they remeber being killed by you and if they do then they can start attacking you again, and if you do not have a scroll to res them and you leave them there and they log off and log back in does that count as a respawn or are they still dead when they log back in?

[Silentus]

Basically anything that inturrupts the RP of the session indicates failure. If the killed person logs off deliberately RP is broken = no knowledge of occurance. If the person accidentally gets logged (crash, technical misfortune, etc...) then the players involved should probably talk it out amongst themselves... If they cant agree, we do have DMs who will lay down the law. The point here is to not overcomplicate everything to the point of making it too restrictive or giving rule lawyers too much to abuse.

As far as the rule post bit, you're the first person Ive heard that question from in the year Ive been on these forums, but many dont post so maybe others were confused too. I had already modified it for clarity before you even finished your reply post anyway

Sorry bout the off-topic Makz, this is just an issue I want to make sure peole are clear on for yor general sanity

((sorry bout the typo on your name Sorak))

[Fazroth]

Just to point out, rolling a 10 on the dice allows the person to remember

This means that there is a little better then 50% chance that they will remember if you kill them.
