Sandal will save the day somehow I'm sure

Question: When rolling for abilities could you roll each turn for the same thing if you wanted to? Not intending to spam. Just wondering. Like when Vaeca rolled for Perception while entering the cave, and he rolled again in the room.

And now he's rolled three terrible numbers he could re-roll if needed?
(Or hopefully find someone more nimble!)

It would depend on the skill in question. Most physical skills (climbing, swimming, jumping etc) can be re-tried so long as the effects for failing don't prevent it (falling of an 80ft wall, getting washed down stream etc).

Information checks (Arcana, Nature etc) can only be taken once - you either know the answer or ya don't - though you may re-try if circumstance would grant you a new perspective (such as finding a library or something to study in).

Perception is a special case. I'll generally only allow one roll at a time until something new occurs - either a change in position or casting a spell or something. You can't walk into a room and use five perceptions in a row because you rolled low.

Ok cool kinda what I thought. So one perception roll at the entrance would be different to the perception roll in the room. And then only one per location would count.

thanks!

Joab needs new dice.

Yeah Vaeca too!
Another question. For climbing would an Athletics check have been more suitable than Acrobatics?
Not going to try again, just for clarification!

Acrobatics is for balance and a variety of acrobatic stunts (dives, rolls, flips, swinging of chandeliers that sort of junk).
Athletics is for climbing/swimming/running etc

So yeah Athletics would have been more appropriate.

Ack sorry guys, apparently I'm not getting Subscription notices any more.

aannnnd that's how you do it, boys!

(I've been rolling so well, it can only mean one thing: The dice are plotting my demise and will start rolling single digits at the worst possible time.)

Nice!

Garren, if I wanted to have Booker tie a rope off something to lower down the hole in order to assist the others as they climb, what sort of rolls would you want? I want it to both be out of sight and quiet, so as not to disturb the enemies in the room.

Hmm. Quiet may be a problem since the funnel is somewhat lacking in good points to tie to so you'll probably have to drive a rod into the wall or something.

Edit: Wait did you mean set up like a spike or something to brace the rope inside the funnel or like tie it wrong a stalagmite or something and lower the rope down?

Tying the rope itself would be a Dexterity check.

Well considering my last shabby rolls I've gotta have something good coming!

Let's see if things can come together for some type of ambush
Is there any visual/map for what we see so far?

Garren, I mean tie the rope off up top to a stalagmite or something, then throw the rope down.

Oh then yeah that will just be a Dexterity check. You can keep your current Stealth roll of 19 unless you want to re-roll it. As far as the others getting up unheard that will be up to them.

Would people kindly stop feeding the wolves? There going to be following you everywhere at this rate.

I like this plan. Good work, midas

I just wish Vaeca asked the wolves about attacking their masters...



Well, I always wanted a puppy.

Well crap. Apparently that summer of boy scout camp wasn't worth much.

I would have if I had Animal Friendship or Speak with Animals prepared!

I changed Speak with Animals to Faerie Fire thinking it would be useful in the dark or against a large group of goblins. It's a Dex check but gives advantage to any attacks by anyone in the group.

Well. At least it's the rogue in the sneakiest position. Maybe a distraction from the other direction?
Would need Joab to guide around the corner though to get into position so the flame doesn't alert the goblins. How close is the room to the dam?

Dear God. I'm sorry everyone.
