On a related note, what is the TN for our next set of rolls while we prepare the hillock? It's tied to each PC's attributes, so for Arton battle is 20-heart.

thesloth Posted September 3, 2022 Clone Share Posted September 3, 2022 Oh yeah, I recall that discussion now. He's going through a rough patch. I may need to burn some hope if this keeps up.

thesloth Posted September 3, 2022 Clone Share Posted September 3, 2022 I wonder if I could try to devise a ruse to give us an edge. Something like intentionally cooking so food so the odor drifts and heightens the blood lust of the orcs. The goal would be making them less cautious or more careless to provide an advantage to our archers as the orcs approach. Maybe as a riddle check or a battle check?

Varon777 Posted September 8, 2022 Clone Share Posted September 8, 2022 Well that's also a bad roll. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesloth Posted September 8, 2022 Clone Share Posted September 8, 2022 Good strategy plagued by rotten rolls. Guess we will have to get creative. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesloth Posted September 13, 2022 Clone Share Posted September 13, 2022 I would do it but Arton has only one pip in Awe. I have some great verbal fodder though if anyone wants to give it a shot.

I have some great verbal fodder though if anyone wants to give it a shot. Time for a crash course in hope in second edition then? Hope no longer grants a flat bonus post-roll; instead it adds a bonus die (1d6) pre-roll. Not sure about the fellowship pool. Maybe it's the same? Distinctive features no longer allow auto-successes; instead, they make you "Inspired" thus doubling dice due to hope. So.... You could invoke bold to become inspired and then burn a point of hope (or fellowship? I need to check) to roll 1d12 3d6 vs. TN 14 for Awe. That's not terrible odds for success (70-75% I think). Ultimately your choice, of course. But consider this your hope tutorial! Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dread check just gives you Shadow, and that's all. I *think* Shadow/Hope are a bit more dynamic in second edition in that they can be lost/gained (respectively) during Fellowship Phase, but the actual rules elude me at this moment. Basically, though, I think there's less incentive to be stingy with Hope in 2nd edition. Could be wrong though!

thesloth Posted September 14, 2022 Clone Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) I will do it then. Time to summon up some courage. I'll get a post up, just let me know what to subtract from the character sheet.
