Could we have dice rolls like in the DM Item for the More actions item?
So the DM wont have to roll all the cie, the players will be bale to help while the DM prepare an encounter/something else...

Could we have dice rolls like in the DM Item for the More actions item? Personally I vote no. That's the sort of things DMs should do "behind the scenes", so player immersion isn't broken. What do others think? Sounds great in theory, not so much in practice. The problem is you need to communicate to the player that you want them to make a roll, and they need to do it and get the result back to you (sometimes). That's no quicker than you just making the roll and telling the player the result (sometimes). Take as an example the time the other day you wanted me to make an intimidate roll. You kept putting up these strange messages on the screen. I had no idea that you wanted me to make a roll. After a minute of this you got shirty with me and started swearing. Not exactly fast... Obviously this would be better if we establish a convention, but then you need to teach it to all new players. So I still think it is easier for the DM just to do it all the time. |

And what about player driven RP sessions? I want to be able to intimidate someone without the help of a DM. Unless we have a 24/24 7/7 DM that can do 7 things at a time, I think the dices is a great addon

Personally, even in PnP games I DM, I don't use that skill very much, I go by what the player says and does, not what some die roll says - to me thats what RP is all about. As a DM, I just take into consideration the PCs skill score and adjust the NPC's reaction. If one PC is trying to intimidate another, there is no roll at all, its all role play. |

Well in that case, it means NO PC WILL EVER BE INTIMIDATED...do whatever you want about it but I think it ****. Cuz without the rolls, I'm sure you agree with me that no players will play the intimidated hero...

Actually I think you'd be surprised.
I've seen whole mock battles played out in RP alone with a winner and a loser.
If you are dedicated enough to roleplaying then you can mimic just about any dice role.
Or the DM can just tell a player 'you have been intimidated' and expect the player to act accordingly.
The best way to get others to roll play is by example. If you are dedicated enough and do every interaction IC, then others will start to catch on.
Also think about this. Do not expect anything of others that you would not be willing to do yurself.
Would you play the intimidated one?

There's something you don't understand there.... I said THERES NO 24/24 7/7 DM THAT CAN DO 7 THINGS AT A TIME. Sometimes, intereaction between players will be interaction between pcs ONLY...
If the rolls have said so, Sure.
Now that all is said, I don't wanna talk about this further, I just think it would be a -USEFUL- addon to put dices in More Actions Itm. From my suggestion, you guys still the admins and do whatever you want.
closed.
