Papa Bear Posted March 20, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 20, 2023 s'OK. My character sheet is all messed up after the site update. Now, of course, I can't fix it. I hate that you can't drag images and place them... especially when I had Orn's Pic placed side by side with the Tables. I'm sort of anal about my character sheet's look (even when I've not actually completed them, odd huh?) so I'll have to rebuild it, I guess. That makes me angry. Hopefully soon they'll fix copy and paste so I can copy and past OOC and Spoiler comments like we used to on OGMW.

rogueblade0729 Posted March 20, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted March 20, 2023 Yeah, that's valid. I'm running into some issues with the UI myself, so don't feel as if you're suffering alone.

rogueblade0729 Posted March 20, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted March 20, 2023 Oh! Something I just realized. If you use the Source button, you can straight up code your messages, though instead of BBCode it's just HTML.

Papa Bear Posted March 21, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 21, 2023 OH! I'll have to brush up on the differences between HTML and BB coding... oof, and get used to using < and > instead of [ and ].

codexgigas Posted March 21, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) You can also copy the source from another user's post to the source code box on your post (to transfer templates and the like). Edit: I misremembered what I was talking about. The source code lets you copy a post from one thread group to another. This way you can take a template from a character thread to a story thread.

codexgigas Posted March 24, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 24, 2023 Is there time to create fire arrows before the Old Troll wakes up? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the Old Troll wakes up? Probably not. That's something you'd need to prepare ahead of time, with the proper materials. If you rush in the crafting, you might unbalance your arrows (disadvantage on attack rolls with them). BUT, if you want to make them for the future, you certainly can! Over at least a short rest, you can combine strips of cloth, string, and oil (or alcohol) to make the arrows without risk or penalty. So, unless you have those materials now, fire arrows are a no-go. You could always try lighting your normal arrows on fire, but... well, that might backfire on you (pun intended).

codexgigas Posted March 24, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 24, 2023 We're coming up against enough things where fire would help that it sounds like a reasonable investment to make once we return to Bree for supplies!

rogueblade0729 Posted March 24, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) I am willing to compromise for the situation, however. You all should probably have unlit torches, right? Well, if you want, you can salvage 1 torch to turn 3 arrows into fire arrows. You'll need to make either a Dexterity or an Intelligence ability check to craft them. Given the nature of the task, it's a DC 10. If you're proficient with any relevant tools, or with the Sleight of Hand skill, you can add your proficiency modifier to the ability check. We will use these stats for fire arrows, as they make sense to me: https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Fire_Arrows_(20)_(5e_Equipment) Also, a failure doesn't mean you break the arrow or lose the materials or whatever. You're basically just measuring out how much cloth you need, then wrapping it around the arrow; probably not a high chance of breaking or losing anything. It just means you make an unbalanced (too much material, disadvantage on attack rolls) or ineffective (too little material, only 1 extra fire damage) fire arrow. If you attempt this during a short or long rest, you can skip the ability check and auto-craft it, since you're taking your time and double-checking to get it right.

Papa Bear Posted March 24, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 24, 2023 soooo can we pour oil on orn's hammer and light it on fire too? no, just kidding. I don't think Orn would accept doing that to his family warhammer. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
