Re: The Heist - OOC
I generally play it by ear. If it's just a handful of people, I'll have it apply individually like normal checks (such as when Veska and Uragh first met a Crawler, and he remained hidden while she got spotted). But for bigger groups then yeah, I'll work it out as an average.

Vatro Per/Stealth: 1D20+6 = [18]+6 = 24
1D20+7 = [4]+7 = 11
Uragh Per/Stealth: 1D20+2 = [18]+2 = 20
1D20+6 = [3]+6 = 9
Well....so much for the group Stealth check
1D20+7 = [4]+7 = 11

Re: The Heist - OOC
Does Veska see anything odd about the meat pile? She critted her perception coming here, but I'm not sure if this is what that was for.
She's specifically looking for a part of the Maw that might be poking out, whatever it looks like. She remembers Kerash saying something about a 'stalk'.

Re: The Heist - OOC
How much does Vatro know about otyoughs?
Vatro knowledge: 1D20 = [13] = 13
Also rolled below average perception so he won't see it more than before

Re: The Heist - OOC
Sorry, that first Perception was just for the journey, to see whether you heard any Crawlers sneaking up on you.
You'll need another Per check for examining the carrion hill from a distance. The other two can roll it as well, though.

Judging by the vague description Veska gave, Vatro knows jack-shit about what they're facingTheis2 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 12, 2018 9:42 am How much does Vatro know about otyoughs?

Perception on meat pile (Natural Explorer): 1D20+6 = [4]+6 = 10
Nah. Unless it has to roll stealth against that?

Re: The Heist - OOC
Hmm, if no one can see it can Veska make a Stealth check to hide, get closer, and make another Perception check? On page 177 under Hiding, it says you can hide at any point in time if you're invisible.

Re: The Heist - OOC
Hiding again is fine, but I'll need you to get within about...lets say 10ft before you can search again.
And the Maw will obviously get a chance to spot you, too

Re: The Heist - OOC
Question, do I get to choose which of my 3 attacks I can apply the 1d8 Dread Ambusher damage bonus to, like how paladins get to choose? I'm asking since Veska got a crit on one of her attacks

Re: The Heist - OOC
I'm going to saw no, since the Dread Ambusher bonus damage is tied specifically to an attack roll. The exact wording is;
Also, can I have initiative rolls from everyone?
So it only applies to the third attack, as your first two attacks are part of your Extra Attack feat. While Sneak Attack and Divine Smite can be tied to any attacks that meet their requirements."If you take the Attack action on that turn, you can make one additional weapon attack as part of that action. If that attack hits, the target takes an extra 1d8 damage of the weapon's damage type."
Also, can I have initiative rolls from everyone?

Re: The Heist - OOC
Also, how many spell slots have you spent today Vader? By my count you've done at least 2 Disguise Self's, 2 Hunter's Marks (including this one), and 1 Healing Spirit?

Re: The Heist - OOC
That's correct! She only has one 2nd level spell left.
Also I added in initiative and damage to my post. I think doing almost 50 damage on my first turn is pretty good

Re: The Heist - OOC
So....I've just realised that I've been doing Darkness a little wrong. Specifically, Perception checks in Darkness for creatures with Darkvision. To summarise, Darkvision makes Total Darkness equal Dim Light instead. Except Dim Light still provides Disadvantage on sight-based Perception checks...
I'm not going to retcon anything, since that would be mean to you guys. But I'm just letting you know that, from now on, I'll be giving Disadvantage to vision checks in the dark.

Re: The Heist - OOC
Also a bit late and it wouldn't have mattered, but wouldn't Uragh's weapon of warning have notified him about the crawler ambush earlier?

Re: The Heist - OOC
That's only for vision-based checks, right? I think you've been flavoring it so that we've mostly been hearing stuff coming, anyway.

Re: The Heist - OOC
Yeah, but that would definitely apply to you searching for the Maw in the meat pile.

Re: The Heist - OOC
Would this check have changed anything?
Perception to see Maw up close in dim light for funsies: 1D20+6 = [11]+6 = 17

Re: The Heist - OOC
@Spider: It looks like there's some light in the area, but you can't tell where exactly it's coming from. It's hard to make out details at this distance.
