Things are being introduced in logical phases.
Combat is important, but more complex. I am getting you both used to the process before allowing that.

Stage 1 - NPC Merchants 1.0 - Done
Stage 2 - Locked Doors
Stage 3 - Puzzles
Stage 4 - Combat
Stage 5 - DM/GM Cards

DM: If you wish to foreshadow the theme of the dungeon on the peaceful journey there, go for it. Do that now,
and then describe the enterance.

This is all an outline that may change. When the players have to wait little time before being able to act, it is a sign that everyone is ready for more. Until then and no sooner will the complexity increase.

Bartender: "Any time. Please come back later. I'm not getting much business lately."

As the party travels along the path the map provides, things get somewhat worrisome. Though most of the journey was peaceful, the party eventually comes to a forest that seems to be filled with an air of dread. No harm comes to the party, but they all feel something's off. Within the forest, they come to a wooden door embedded in the side of a hill. The map indicates that this is a dungeon entrance.

Heroes, from here on the DM will be the one primarily instructing you. Thank you.

[Elvish Miner]

Gregory flexes. Well,
let's get going then!

Open the door.

[OceanSoul]

Most actions will require a d8 to be rolled, and the result will be based on the roll. It's like a d6, except normal success, weak success and normal failures have double the chance of other outcomes, and overshot require 9+. 1 is critical fail, 2 and 3 are normal failures, 4 and 5 are weak success, 6 and 7 are normal success, 8 is great success, and 9+ are degrees of overshot, which don't have normal amounts of overshot penalty until 11+. [Stat] rolls get any bonuses/penalties from that stat, advantage (roll twice and pick higher result) if that stat is the doer's strength, and disadvantage (roll twice and pick the lower) if it is instead their weakness.

Anyway, there are 3 ways to open the door: using the right key, which is an auto-success in normal circumstances; breaking open the door, which requires a roll of strength and endurance (the latter for flavor unless either on a normal failure if the door is very hard or critical fail is rolled, in which case minor damage is taken[will work on health/damage when it is about to apply]); and picking open the door, which requires a lockpickl and a dexterity roll. Thankfully, Witch Doctors start with a Jagged Pin, which can be used as a lockpick, but counts weak successes as failures, and breaks on a Critical fail.. (breaking means it enters an unusable state, unless said otherwise)

Another note on breaking open the door; either 2 minor strength successes or 1 normal or above success is needed to break it successfully.

REMEMBER- The GM needs to confirm to these rules or adjust them first.

I would like to Request the Rules for Demon Summoning.

Well hm. I'm not the GM, I'm the DM. I'm fairly sure that's what you mean, though.

There is a house rule I think would be fair.

Even if somebody successfully broke in a door, they could still be hurt by the effort or by jagged wood, right? I think that the endurance roll should count regardless of whether or not the door is very hard or a critical fail is rolled, however, if a natural 6, 7, or 8 is rolled, the endurance roll is waived.

• I would like to Request the Rules for Demon Summoning.
  

• DM changes

• What abilities would the other two heroes like fleshed out before combat? Keep it to one each for now.
  
  
• Heroes, you can pray to your guardians if you are unhappy with the DMs modification. However be sure that you understand their personality. They may also grow a deaf ear if you challenge every new rule that doesn't obviously upset them. They too desire for a bit of challenge so if the GM rule is too easy they won't mind a little bit of more difficulty.
  
  DM GM
  I will need each roll outlined for me. A literal list of what each roll is and what it means. If this sounds too tedious then that means you should probably simplify these rules.

DM
In a spoiler marked for the GM, let him know what you would like your first basic minion to be.

GM
Begin work on the combat system, remember keep it simple. Use the minion provided to you for a sample if you need something to start with.

GM DM
When the voting ends and the rules are decided then the heroes will see if they succeeded in opening the door, and then you can provide them and encounter with one of these minions. Inside the dungeon. GM this is when you will explain combat. You can also consider the abilities they request when making it.

DM
When it is time to do all this, make the first room simple and simply leading to a door on the other side. Simple at least in function you couldn't describe it however you wish.

[Elvish Miner]

Gregory doesn't have a need for these silly "abilities." His bare fists and rippling pectorals fullfil all his offensive and defensive needs. However, this door does appear to pose a challenge, seeing as how the DM thinks Gregory should get hurt attacking it (cuz doors are much tougher than mobs), so a door busting ability would be great!

Spoiler: GM(and DM) only: (click to show/hide)

My first minion shall be an Acolyte, the lowest of the low for cultists. Armed with... nothing. No magic. Odds are they won't even attack unless there's more than one of them.

Unfortunately, they tend to run away when threatened. In order to alert the other cult members.

[FallacyofUrist]

Kicks thread.

[RoseHeart]

Going to officially call this dead. I will shoot a friendly PM notification to the active participants when and if I make another one of this kind.
