How does combat work in pbp? Considering all the dice rolls and stuff, it seems any battle will quickly bog down into a week-long affair...

[SOLDIER First]

Essentially the same, but, yes, a while longer than with Roll20.

Can take hours with Roll20, might take weeks in PbP, to be more specific. PbP D&D tends to be a bit of an arse in that respect, given the map-intensive, time-consuming combat.

EDIT: okay, two questions about a warlock build:

First of all, is Eldritch Glaive permitted? I figure I should ask, though I don't exactly see why it wouldn't be.

Second, are Eldritch Claws okay? They're a bit more dubious, but it seems like I could have some good fun with those.

[Skyrunner]

Perhaps yes... but I'm starting to feel doubtful whether I wil lbe able to actually run this game >.>

Well, if you've got the materials ready and all you need is players, then it seems like an eminently doable thing. I'd certainly be chuffed to play it.

[GiglameshDespair]

Yeah. You gotta at least try these things, right?

[Harry Baldman]

All else fails, could just straight-up ask people you know if they'd like to play.

[Skyrunner]

The last time I played I was in the US, so I didn't have any troubles with timezones ;-;

On the preparation front, I'm also not entirely sure whether I am well-prepared for the session, but I'm trying!

[Harry Baldman]

Right, I think I've got my sheet in order.

Also, bump.

[GiglameshDespair]

My sheet is also done.

[Harry Baldman]

Oh, I think I'm still missing a feat. Humans did get 5 in this system, right?

[GiglameshDespair]

Yeah, you should have a bonus feat at the beginning.
My marshal aura also means you get +3 on will saves and +1 on attack rolls if you're within 60 ft of me.

[Harry Baldman]

Wondering if I want Skill Focus (UMD) or Improved Initiative more. Can't really think of anything else that'd be useful.

[GiglameshDespair]

Improved Initiative, I'd say.
Gotta get that Init.

[Harry Baldman]

Yeah, +4 is pretty good, all things considered, considering it legitimately triples my bonus.

On the other hand, if I can break 10 on UMD with skill focus, then taking 10 gets me an automatic 20! Which is also pretty cool.
