for level 2 will be roll vs average+1 whatever is higher.
HP:
vs. 4
Also I've found it useful to put the Hit Point rolling convention for your game on the Campaign Info tab as well.
Thanks for the advice. The campaign tab has been updated to reflect how, I do hit points.
Picking up lvl 1 Sea Witch.
Question about 'average' - all classes have even hit dice, average is always an X.5 number. Do you round up, down, or truncate for average? (Basically, Bank average, school math average, or truncate?)
Can you explain further? I seem to be having trouble figuring out were the X.5 part is coming from.
An X sided die has as its probable outcomes a sequence of .
As a very clever person discovered while trying to avoid a boring arithmetics assignment, you can pair the numbers off thusly: ... And so on, and you wind up with times the equivalent of .
So the total will be which you can rewrite as , or .
To get the average from that, you divide by X and end up with , which simplifies to ...
** spoiler omitted **
X/2 is the average I'm talking about.
So 6/2 = 3 + 1 sea witch average.Or 12/2 = 6 + 1 for a barbarian.
I will expand on this more a little later.
It's half your HD plus 1. Math aside, it's the core rulebook standard for levelling up without rolling. ;)
Sorry to cause a math interlude :)
The average of any dice roll is equal to (min roll + max roll)/2. For example, 1d6 = (1+6)/2 = 3.5, 2d4 = (2+8)/2 = 5, etc.
Therefore all hit dice are (1+N)/2 which always results in a number with a 0.5 at the end - that's why I put in X.5 (X was my placeholder for 'any number').
Hence my question about 'average' since my 1d6 becomes 3.5, Sharice's 1d12 becomes 6.5, etc. Which you answered with, effectively, truncate the 0.5, but then add 1 which effectively results in 'round up' :D
Well, No-Eyes is out of the influence game for the moment; at least he can catch up on his shut-eye now...
Same with Renzuran; I need to sleep off what's left of the fatigue.
I'll get the next post up soon.
anyone in black border red text will be hard to persuade If not impossible. HIGH rolls like what Lucia did are about all that will move them back into "easier range". (The target was black background with red text when you started.)
Yeah, I got that impression. Of course, with that big a bonus I decided to push my luck. It may take some time and effort, and we probably won't get all the crew, but anyone hostile we can convert will be a big help later.
Scourge and Plugg are likely a lost cause.
I figured as much but wanted to clarify just in case.
awww, Jape won't be our friend? :D

We're all just trying to stay alive on this ship.
I swear if I keep rolling these awful rolls I'm gonna multiclass as Antipaladin, change my alignment to Chaotic Evil and just start burning stuff.
It's just heartbreaking.

I'm with you, kid; I neglected that clerics are starved for skill ranks when I rolled up my sheet. If the dice don't start liking me soon I'm verging on reneging on my decision not to dip into rogue and proceed to stab everything.

O come on Some one here has to think up creative responses to your low rolls XD... This time I think it will be related to her mother... :P
In all honesty I hope you start rolling better. It's always fun to get those high rolls. :)
I think I'm doing more harm than good playing the diplomacy card... :P
for those who don't have it can you please put your fort ref will ac hp init and perception in with your class so it can be seen each time you post - thanks
also - please in the dice description part, the influenced persons name, as well so I don't have to hunt for it 3+ times. - thanks XD
Done.
Done; good to go.
I'm back from my weekend out of town - I'll catch up and respond shortly.
*poke*
It may be hard to post this weekend as good personal situations happen but, we will see, I will try to post the next round if i get a few moments this weekend.
It's good to hear someone having a good time :D Have fun!
Hey guys, just wanted to inform that on top of a killer week on my job, my fianceé's grandfather passed away this morning and we'll be attending the funeral. Long story short, I won't be able to post for at least until tonight, hope to find some time later so as to not let you guys down. See you later.

thank you for letting us know. Take care of the fianceé and family first. Family passing away is always hard.
Everything's fine now, we're doing better. It wasn't completely unexpected.
On the plus side, I've just rolled the first three 20s in a row in my life, though it would've been better if we were fighting a dragon (are we using instant kill rules?)
Hey, guys. Some things have come up and I'm not going to be able to post for a few days, most likely. Hope to be back up and running by Friday at the latest, but just roll around me until then.
Ok Lucia, thanks for the heads up.
Don't know if I mentioned it but, when you "wake up" tomorrow the group will be level 2.
So update accordingly :)
Woo! Level 2, I updated my profile.
All set here.
Everything is updated.
Curious, anyone know why things suddenly stopped?
Still around and checking regularly for new posts.
Not a clue. I'm still waiting on the results of my last Diplomacy check.
