(URGENT) How To Take Action

Ao Fri Oct 03, 2014 7:24 am

Hey guys,

So I've been very unclear about what I mean when I say "take actions" every post. I think I've been over complicating it. I made a post about it last night, that was totally off point and seemed like I was asking for OOC meta character motivations or something.

So I'm trying to simplify this.

From now on, at the bottom of every post you make, I need an actions section.

Let me demonstrate.

[...]

(IE. The scene where the party hears a noise in the woods calling out in draconic)

.....Osvald Post Body.....
...........
..........
Actions:
*Osvald will move toward the sound, sneaking (Sneak check: 18)
*Osvald will go first (rolling as the scout)

(IE. The scene where Grol invites you to dinner)

....Custer Post Body.......
.........
........
Actions:
*Presuming nobody threatens Custer with weapons, Custer will follow Grol into the cave
*Custer will keep his eyes open for exit points (Perception check: 22!)

(IE. A Scene where the party is confronted with two options. Try and cross the flooded river, or take the long way around)

......Anna Post Body......
.......
.......
Actions:
*Anna will wade into the water, carrying Custer over her head (Strength check, if necessary: 4) uh oh
*If the water gets too rough, she will try and throw Custer back to land (Strength check: 18)

(IE. A scene where confronted with bandits on the road)

......Shorjahl Post Body.....
.........
........
Actions:
*Shorjahl will walk confidently past the bandits, brandishing his arcane energies. If they so much as move, he will blast them with Magic Missile. If they do not draw weapons, the party will continue on.

(IE. A scene where a Pit Trap is discovered in the middle of a hallway)

.....Kellar Post Body....
.......
......
Actions:
*Kellar will go searching in the previous rooms of the dungeon, looking for a long piece of wood to place across the gap.
*If he finds something appropriate, Kellar will go first across the pit trap, tying a rope around his body and giving the other end to Anna. He will crawl carefully along the wood (Dexterity check: 2)

Is that a little clearer? An actions section seems to make sense.
