Almost done with my character. Sully, can you look it over when you get a chance and let me know if there's anything I need to adjust? There's a couple of things I need to add, but it's mostly done. Background is actually something you either roll for or choose off the list on pgs 8-9. It grants an...

Are we doing this, guys? Usually chargen is the easiest thing to get players to do.

Tiarsus will attempt to trigger the door using the square of flooring.

From a distance, I hope! Do we have a 10' pole or something similar, just to be on the safe side?

Themon says, Hey, I was right! Tiarsus, see if you can pry that open without getting squashed.

Themon turns to his colleagues. We should search for secret doors, too. Sometimes the lock is just a fake designed to hide the real door.

Ingram says, The Gods do what the Gods do, and Men deal with the consequences. We won't find anything if we die on this hill. Does anyone else need to rest some more or can we get moving downstream?

Map of Argosa: https://lowfantasygaming.com/2017/05/17/the-midlands-argosa-low-magic-setting-region-map/ You will note the three major Argosan cities of Northgate, Port Brax, and Crow's Keep. There is a relatively new Nydissian settlement to the south called Melek. The Karoks, and their dwarven slav...

Note the new thread for Rules discussion.

I'll start with a warning. The ruleset to date doesn't have a ton of info on how to build encounters. A Core Feature of the game is Unbalanced Encounters. There are special rules for retreats and chases. I'm not a big TPK guy so some of my encounters may end up easier than you might expect but, in g...

Use this thread for any questions or comments about the Tales of Argosa ruleset.

I read that to mean only the extra attack is made at Disadvantage.

Disadvantage means you roll two of the same die and use the lower one. See p. 64 under Modifiers. Major beneficial circumstances allow the player to roll 2d20 instead of 1d20 and use the best result (this is called rolling with “advantage”). Similarly, for major adverse circumstances, the player rol...

Rex: Half-skorn Monk
gurusql: Human Rogue
thirdkingdom: Dwarf Cultist
ybn: To Be Determined

Two sets of Party Bonds Rex is 1, guru is 2, ybn is 3, tk is 4. Let's see who has the first two sets of Bonds. 1 and 3 is the roll so that's the first pair. 2 and 4 is the second pair. Bonds pairs : 2#1d4 1 3 12 (Childhood Friends) and 14 (Served in the Town Militia) Rex and guru are Childhood Frien...

For Pack Gear, we'll assume a Bedroll is one slot, and a set of 5 Rations is one slot. Torches up to 5 are one slot. You can put a tinderbox and a coin purse into a Miscellaneous slot. If you're only carrying the one torch, you can throw that into the Miscellaneous slot but more than one takes up it...

Rolls for gurusql Age is 22 : 1d20+16 22 Rogue skills are Gather Info, Detection, and Acrobatics : 3#1d10 7 5 1 A 17 DEX is a +3 modifier so you get three Tricks & Techniques. Cat's Grace, Hidden Blade, Choking Dust PC Tricks & Techniques roll : 3#1d12 1 6 2 EDIT: You already have Acrobatics...

Rolls for Rex (again, feel free to discard if you want to choose)

Race and Background: PC race and background: 1d12 12 2#1d6 2 1

Looks like either Halfling or Half-Skorn for race, and Galley Slave for background.

Age is 31 years old: PC age: 1d20+16 31

Sorry for late replies. Today is my birthday so the weekend has been a busy one.

A reminder to you all that you can choose your race and background. Entirely up to you if you want to roll or choose.
