Re: Card Draws/Cognition

15:42, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 3 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 3. Spirits roll. Ouch.

Right there with you on the low Spirits Jane. And I don't mean in a need of morale boost sort of way. I guess I know what I will be buying up next. Sheesh.

So Peter takes 8 which is a wound to the guts.

In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg #265):

Don't worry, no one gets a wound. They're all miraculously healed by the Templars. By "miraculous" I mean it surprises even the Templars. You normally can't heal mortal wounds to the torso, and even Laying on of Hands takes a lot of time and only heals one level per day (not all in one shot and instantaneously, which is how laying on of hands traditionally works).

The reason for this miraculous healing being, of course, that I did standard damage for the Boise storm wall. Then needed to walk it back because, well, it sucks to put half the posse on their backs and/or kill them when I want to get going on the next chapter!

I usually ask for straight-up rolls. I'll try and include the TN and modifiers if I think of them.

This is to do a visual check to find a location to camp. The stretch of road between Boise and Twin Falls is so bad that travelers between Boise and Junkyard typically detour around this stretch than go directly. It's possible that some of you have been this way but no one's familiar enough to know of any camping areas.

The rules are kind of ambiguous as to when to use the Search skill and the attribute it's based on, Cognition. The description for Cognition is rather vague ".... for perception and general awareness" while Search is used to both comb an area but also look for ambushes, a wide and narrow application.

This should have probably been a Cognition check over Search, but no harm no foul.

Tony

[Private to Smoker Nix: Open your character sheet and look up your Search skill, which I think is 3d8. Dice rolls based on skills or attributes are a dice pool, take the highest. Dice are open-ended/explode, that is, if they max you roll again. I will usually give you a Target Number (TN) that you need to beat.]

My cognition is the same dice as my search so you can use whichever you like.  :)

Re: Card Draws/Cognition

Yes but having a skill is usually better for rolling.

Also, you only keep the highest die when you roll unless it's for damage.

When making a typical Aptitude (skill) or Attribute check, count the highest die only.

So... Rowan rolled a 5 and Jane a 4. No joy!

Jane's not awakened.

The Intruder gets 2 Actions, moves on Queen.

Roadkill gets 4 Actions, moves on Jack. Plus, he also needs to resist an Overawe attempt, TN 3 (Foolproof).
