House Rules: The Golden Roll Rule

When in doubt, DON’T ROLL
Please don’t roll unless I ask you to except in combat. Rolling with the hope that something will happen will not help you. Think of it this way: your characters are heroes. If I think your character could succeed at a task with a roll of 10, then you will pretty much automatically succeed. Alternatively, if a roll will make the story more interesting or suspenseful, I'll ask for a roll.

This also includes suggesting rolls. You can suggest how your skills or backgrounds apply in a PM, but DON'T ASK FOR A ROLL.

House Rules: The Golden Roll Rule

The major exception to this is combat. Please make any roll you think is appropriate in combat without asking.

ALWAYS roll attack & damage if you're readying an attack or spell.
