[OOC Thread] The Lesser of Two Heresies.
Esther:
Is that how it works? I also thought Silhar would decide who has the stats to notice me, I do have the advanced skill of Shadowing. Not that it makes much of a difference if you noticed me or not, the outcome will be quite the same.....
Damn Lucky, you know me toooooo well ;)
HexaDoken:
Well, if I did something wrong, nothing the Edit button can't fix.
Esther, I would like you to just post your character sheet in the OOC thread. Also, Shadowing or not, we ALL here have Awareness, and LuckyDee even has a +10 to it(altho I somewhat par him with my naturally high Perception), so moving around us unnoticed is hard enough.
Our sheets are at pages 3 and 4 of OOC thread, if you care.
Silhar:
Actually, do we have to roll for every single little thing? I'm a follower of the idea that PCs should roll only in the situations where a failure carries the risk of harming either the character or its plans. Not noticing Esther isn't going to harm you (I hope so, for the time being), so the best thing to do is to roleplay it. If your Perception score is at least superior, awareness bonus included (seen the chart in the chapter 1st?), you will fail to notice the assassin sneaking upon you.
Also, I want to oficially greet you in our little crew, Esther. If you really enjoy backstabbing, I guess we'll be going along just fine... some of us do it for a living, you know. ;)

This kind of contradicts itself...
Anyhow, I think that where players are performing actions (be they reflexive or deliberate) that directly oppose each other, such as trying to stay hidden and trying to detect a hidden presence, the only fair (and fun) way is by rolling the dice. This leaves the entire thing to chance and keeps the players on their toes.
In short, if the others agree, I'd go with HexaDoken's plan of rolling, but then indeed do it with all the 'official' modifiers (I'd have to look it up). Additionally, depending on how Shadowing works, a contested test might be in order, the player with the highest degree of success being the winner.
HexaDoken:
If I just make my character do everything I want, he will be absolute badass and will never fail. Sure, this is badass for me, but not really interesting for others. He must fail at least SOMETIMES. But since I can't really decide when he will fail and when he won't(because I do not want him to fail), I use the magic of dice to determine.
I do not HAVE to roll a dice, but that does not mean I can NOT roll a dice. It is up to me. And I'm just informing in case of anything.
Quite like Klear did at some point of time while we were messing around waiting for Van Bohr to come.
