OOC

I've opened the IC posts. We've a small number of RTJs with concepts being jiggled around with so we might find some extra companions soon.

Can we agree that the backpack of the Adventurers Kit has 6 slots instead of 3?
Alternatively what is the cost of a sling bag to provide another 3 slots.

Hey Sir Maun D'Entope - you have two sets of three slots for equipment. So you could say 'bandoliers' is one way of storing 3 items, as well as a backpack.

Hmm, I think I misunderstood.
he System & Character Creation, #2:
Each character sheet will have 6 inventory spaces (each with 3 “slots”) to write down their items.

That's a total of 18 slots.
I tried to distribute the items found in the Adventurers Kit on those slots and come up with 11 slots:
Itemslots
a bedroll1
flint & steel1
a belt pouch1
a rucksackactually providing 3 slots
a lantern1
an empty waterskin1
oil1
a rope (50 feet)2
rations1
a torch1
a cloak1
Add weapon, shield etc and I run out of slots already :). Surely armor takes at least 2 slots?
Gryphon's 10 thowing knives would take up 10 slots (since a dagger takes one)?

[Shrug] Likely am thinking too complex ¡D

The Dread:
Item Tracking
Each character sheet will have 6 inventory spaces (each with 3 “slots”) to write down their items. You should name the sort of container that each inventory space represents (such as sack, backpack, chest, etc). Certain types of items take up different amounts of spaces. We don’t present a huge specific list, but you should use the following rules of thumb when making decisions. Your Game Master will clarify anything that comes up.
• Items that take up 1 slot: Dagger, potion, coins, torch, rations
• Items that take up 2 slots: Short sword, short bow, hatchet, rope, extra clothes
• Items that take up 3 slots: Longsword and bigger, longbow, skis, tent, your Adventurer’s Kit.
As you acquire items, draw them in the appropriate amount of slots and mark their Depletion. Once your slots are full, you can no longer carry items.


So this is what I did with Relf

Relf:
INVENTORY:
WORN:
1.     Hunting bow
2.     Hunting bow
3.     EMPTY

BACKPACK:
1.     Adventurers kit
2.     "
3.     "

Sorry, this confusion has arisen because of a typo on my part. To clarify...

You have two collections of 3 slots. These can be designated as backpacks, bandoliers, sacks etc.

You do not have 18 slots. You have 6. You can obtain more, but you'll have to lug around more luggage as you adventure.

Re: OOC

Relf and Maun succeeded on Initiative.
Gryphon failed.
Brigit and Buckland have not rolled yet.

What we see is after the ambushers' action of Round 01?
I'm going to edit my post to include the Save test

Their actions are running out from the forest, so the map is actionable now. The situation before you all can react.

Re: OOC

Ok it looks like we get 6 hp unless trained. I am mew to the system, what type of hp do mobs have. Want to understand better since my knives do 1 point unless DM gives more from dice and description.

6 of us against 10 plus ? Archers.1

Re: OOC

Baddies get much less hp. Your character has no idea how many hp these things have. Where a giant rat might be splatted in one strike, these things look a little more sturdy. Think of them as separate entities as opposed to a single swarm.

Re: OOC

Ok made half of my rolls need several more.

Please forgive me in advance if I make a mistake. Going to be providing a lot of fluff in my post although I won't describe the result fluff as to damage etc leave that to the DM.

Re: OOC

I guess Opportunist won't apply because it's a SAVE, not an attack?
Also new to T6, so who knows :)

Also, if there's more than 3 attacks hitting Maun Round 2, feel free to roll them :)

Re: OOC

New here to but reading the trait it says

On a failed attack you can make 1 attack at disadvantage meaning a 1d6.

So it is an attack not a save, if save it would be make it to avoid damage. Trait says on failed attack,make attack at disadvantage.

Re: OOC

In reply to Blackgryphon (msg # 34):

Was referring to those arrows  being shot at us. We don't see any of those shooters (Maun doesn't anyway)
#14:
OOC:
Each character needs to make a Save each round or take a point of damage from a stone-tipped arrow.
This hail of arrows seem to be treated as a SAVE rather than specific ATTACKS.
You cannot EVADE those arrows either as they are not ATTACKS.
My understanding anyway.
If they are not attacks, your trait does not trigger.
[Shrug] we will see, it's T6, so not complicated/simulationist, so your dagger might hit some foe hidden in the forest after all.

Re: OOC

Sorry was just about to post again, referring to same thing. It came to me that was what you were implying after first post.

My apologies, I believe you are correct too but prior in direct PM asked DM since we are avoiding several arrows and only saving for one do the rest count as misses or failed attacks. He said sure so I went for any advantage I could get for us.

Re: OOC

No apologies required.
Heck, we're both just trying to grasp both system and GM house rules.
I generally don't do PMs exactly for that reason... the discussion is moot since GM already ruled behind the scene.
Awesome.

One of the benefits of a rule-lite system is that it runs most on rulings, not rules. Blackgryphon asked because he saw that a trait might apply. I thought it should since I was kind of making life easier for myself with the saves instead of a dozen or so attack rolls each round.

But the comment about the secret messages thing is noted - and it's a good one. I'll be making rulings in the open from now on, hoping that makes things easier.

Re: OOC

Brigit of Loxburgh:
Seeing the little green brigands suddenly appear and flank them, Brigit readies her bronze mace, taking a defensive position as she attempts to think of a plan of action. Perhaps a spell could help deter these creatures back into the woods? she wonders to herself.

OOC:

Initiative:
20:15, Today: Brigit of Loxburgh rolled 7 using 2d6 with rolls of 2,5.  Initiative
Failed 2 saves vs arrows
20:29, Today: Brigit of Loxburgh failed (no successes) using 2d6 with the Target Number system with a target of 5 ((1,3)).


Brigit, you haven't taken any actions. To help keep the game moving, im going to count you as evading this round, and give you a bonus action in your next turn (so you get 3 actions, not 2 as normal).  We're all learning the system here, I know it's not as clear for you as it is for me as well. Hopefully, we can iron out some kinks now, rather than later.
