I feel that Karni might be driven to at least try to stop it, being LG.

No worries melee wizard she isn't.

So far it's only unarmed combat. It's saaafe!...

Says the DM.

Safe. Until someone gets knifed.

Good ol' fashioned Western brawl, now into its third minute... Ahh, tropes.

Won't lie, miss the KO% already.

Question, do rolls work like whatever you roll + mod most times like an ability check? Also why couldn't you add KO% in a home game?

Do which rolls? Most rolls do factor in mod and proficiency, yes. But did you have anything in particular?

And the way Unarmed Strike works is by adding the STR mod to the damage... of 1. So low strength characters can easily end up doing zero damage. adding KO to that would either borrow 2e's Punching Wrestling table wholesale, or derive KO% from damage dealt. You can immediately see the problem with the latter option due to STR mod.

More a question of am I doing it correctly. And yeah I see the issue about KO%. I really wish feats were allowed because Athletic would be perfect for Bright Feather. Her magic side is fine in my opinion but her deversity needs help to be a proper Wood Elf.

Which roll are you concerned with?

Unarmed Strike? For example, Wizards are not proficient with Simple Weapons. They therefore do not get +PB on their Unarmed attack rolls. They do however get their STR due to it being a Melee strike. That STR also goes to damage due to Melee rules.

Or were you thinking of another?

Also, Background - Soldier was available for Athletics and Intimidation. Gives you a Vehicle-Land tool proficiency, too. Though Languages are pretty powerful, as I do run more than just Common for everyone.

'K, I'm off for about 5 hours. Any delegated functions let me know in IC and I'll come back to them.

Don't whine Opa I'm fine with my character. It's just fact is I prefer feats over stat bumps. My wizard is deadly if she goes all out already .I'm just looking for a reason not to use a spell over my abilities at this point. I could max her easily but why? It's only *1 compared to serious variety in my weak area that could be combined with a spell...

Yeah I'm hoping feats let us diversify our characters some. I like having options as a player and GM that don't force you to complicate. That was the hard part of 3.5 which I ran for a long while. Luckily for my players I advised and helped out the less system savvy with their characters to get what they wanted.


As far as adding KO%. I would prefer this particular game be RAW. I have less problem with campaign changes like the racial rolls since that flavors the world but adding in rules I think taints the experiment that I thought this Pbp was gonna be.

Honestly that is just an opinion and it wouldn't bother me at all if we diverged cause god knows the rules might survive one read through but on the next I will be changing things for a home game. If I ever run anything as RAW in any game system I wouldn't know what to do and neither would my players.

The converse of that is having to come up with rules for actions on the fly which as far as I am concerned is RAW. It's a very grey area on what a ruling is a changing of RAw or just an extension. one of those things I joined a forum to discuss

I intend to keep this game as RAW as possible.

RAW is good, still learning the rules.

Yeah, If I would have just looked closer I would have equipped my character alot faster and for less money. I just figured out the quickstart boxes for character creation. Fast and easy.

I figure I have a lot to learn about it all, seems fun so far though.
