Time Management: Aim to post daily to keep the story moving. If you anticipate being unavailable, let us know so we can adjust accordingly without sidelining your character.
Null Posting: If you have nothing to add at a particular moment, simply stating so can expedite gameplay. It helps avoid unnecessary delays.
Marching Order: To navigate traps and hazards efficiently, please communicate your general marching order and who will take the lead in new areas.
Profile Headers: Include your character's AC, saves, Sense Motive, Perception modifiers, and maximum HP in your profile header. This helps me manage combat effectively. I will try to keep track of how much damage everybody has taken during combat, so you should not have to change every time you are hit.
Group Initiative: For efficiency, enemies of the same type may act as a group. Similarly, players with consecutive initiatives can act as a group, with their actions ordered to their advantage.
Attacks of Opportunity & Immediate Actions: If your character is poised for an Attack of Opportunity or has immediate actions ready, prepare your rolls in advance in a spoiler tag. This approach streamlines combat without sacrificing strategy.
Botting: Include botting instructions in your Character Sheet for occasions when:
-It's your turn in combat, and 24 hours have passed without action.
-A prompt requires your input, and 24 hours have elapsed.
-You've informed me of your temporary absence.
While I prefer you to control your character, maintaining game momentum is crucial. Bot actions will be straightforward, conserving resources unless absolutely necessary. For critical decisions, I may consult the party for input.
