Guidelines for PbP Players
Posting Expectations: I'll generally expect a posting frequency of at least one post per weekday (Monday-Friday) and one post per weekend (i.e. Saturday-Sunday). Obviously real life takes priority over the game, so if something comes up which could impact on you posting schedule just let me know and we should be able to sort something out.
Botting Policy: I like to keep games running at a decent pace so if you haven't posted for 24 hours after a post which needs your input, I may need to bot your character to keep the game moving. I will only bot your character if its absolutely essential to ensure progress and will try and bot them in a way which is consistent with the characters previous actions. Typically I will err on the side of botting characters in a relatively passive and conservative way to avoid putting them in additional danger or using consumables in anything but the most dire circumstance. If botting instructions are available on your character profile I will endeavor to follow those as best I can, so it is very much advisable to include these.
Dice Rolling: I generally won't make dice rolls for characters when not botting them. The main exceptions being initiative at the start of combat and passive perception checks (you are free to make your own perception checks if you are actively searching an area). I may also need to roll for characters where asking a player to roll will give too much information away (e.g. will saves vs an illusion that the characters are not actively looking for or sense motive vs an NPC that the players are not actively suspicious of). If I've asked for a dice roll, please do these in the order that they were requested, with rolls for PCs taking place before the rolls for animal companions. For percentile dice, low rolls represent a success while high roles represent a failure.
Knowledge Checks: If there are specific things which you would like to know about a creature when you make a knowledge check please indicate these in order of priority when you make the check. Once I've exhausted this list (or if there is no preference indicated) I will use my own judgement about what other information you might want to know about. A list of the common things you may want to ask for can be found in the spoiler below, although feel free to ask for other information which may not be included in this list (e.g. languages, feats etc...):
