    [11:06] Leigh Huet: welcome everyone to you and your dice rolls I will start by saying it is actually one of the easiest things that make your RP interesting but can be quiet confusing

    [11:15] Shaden Rennahan: Yep
    [11:15] Vampire Hunter D: ((Nazaire Dragonash has entered the area.))

    [11:15] Leigh Huet: yay
    it should have your character name
    [11:15] Leigh Huet: and then a list of abilities
    [11:16] Magnus Diavolo: I had no idea that I had so many abilities.
    [11:16] Leigh Huet: smiles
    [11:17] Leigh Huet: as your character develops more abilities you will learn those will show up in purple I belive
    [11:17] Bibiana Sugarplum: mine that I earned were green the first time I earned them
    [11:17] Leigh Huet: the first column is your /9 commands
    [11:17] Bibiana Sugarplum: the new ones... the rest in purple
    [11:18] Leigh Huet: ok green I havn't seen that in a long time
    [11:18] Bibiana Sugarplum: thats cause you all ready have all the abilities.... still a newbie here
    [11:18] Leigh Huet: nothing wrong with that
    [11:18] Nazaire Dragonash: *ties Kiba's shoes together*
    [11:19] Bibiana Sugarplum: it is fun to grow
    [11:19] Leigh Huet: so if you want to use that ability for instance and you have someone targeted you would type /9pushthem
    [11:19] Bibiana Sugarplum: so we do /9 and the whole command
    [11:19] Ivonia MarakovaIvonia Marakova attempts but misses performing Energy Missile on .
    [11:19] Magnus Diavolo: Ahhhh
    [11:19] Kell McBride: Wow. i didnt know i could use magic
    [11:20] Vampire Hunter DVampire Hunter D successfully armors themself.
    [11:20] Leigh Huet: ok this is not necessarily magic
    [11:20] Bibiana Sugarplum: ok will need to make a noted card of all the abilites I have
    [11:20] Rune Crimson: I am not a command typer I just touch the HUD and go to the menu lol
    [11:20] Leigh Huet: but not all your abilitis are listed on the hub
    [11:21] Bibiana Sugarplum: I followed the teachers intructions and did nothing.... ( wants to be teachers pet)
    [11:21] Nazaire Dragonash: (spots already taken)
    [11:21] Tussilago DaggerTussilago Dagger hushes Nazaire
    [11:21] Nazaire Dragonash: *cheeses & purz*
    [11:21] Kell McBride: Is this a list of what our race can do or just we ourselves??
    [11:22] Bibiana Sugarplum: I think anyone with a hud
    [11:22] Leigh Huet: everyone has the same abilities
    [11:22] Leigh Huet: how well they work depends on your character
    [11:22] Leigh Huet: like everyone can use bitethembut it is more dangerous from certain characters
    [11:22] dankablanka Grau: yes i did it:P
    [11:22] Tobyus Flanagan: -grins flashing teeth-
    [11:23] Leigh Huet: and for some when done to other characters will even relieve some of their hunger
    [11:23] Kell McBride: So normal person using bite wouldnt do as much damage as say me with my teeth?
    [11:23] Leigh Huet: but
    [11:23] Nazaire Dragonash: *bares fangs*
    [11:23] Leigh Huet: correct
    [11:23] Kell McBride: and a vampire say would get extra use out of it than even me?
    [11:24] Leigh Huet: if you have a printer you can print these pages
    [11:24] Leigh Huet: depends on your stats Kell and I don't know what your character is
    [11:25] Leigh Huet: every single ability can be RPd from your characters point of view
    [11:25] dankablanka Grau: are all those abilities outcome may be succesfull or not?
    [11:26] Leigh Huet: depends on who you do it against
    [11:26] dankablanka Grau: i mean are these two options available in case of all our abilities?
    [11:26] Leigh Huet: for it is STILL a diceroll
    [11:26] VISTA ANIMATIONS BAD&DIVINE&SUPA AO VSEP08.3 U: OFF
    [11:26] Kell McBrideKell McBride looks at those flashing thier teeth and taps her own saberteeth with smile
    [11:27] MagnusMagnus ponders the fashion value of an avatar-teeth necklace.
    [11:27] Bibiana Sugarplum: yes all abilites can fail
    [11:27] Bibiana Sugarplum: that is the dice roll
    [11:27] Leigh Huet: the reason I show this too you is you can and should use these abilities in your RP, and dicerolls
    [11:27] Perissa Caproni: a few say 44% chance
    [11:28] Leigh Huet: for instance Precious is a doctor
    [11:28] Nazaire Dragonash: those will go up as you level up
    [11:28] Leigh Huet: lets say you heal them giving them something
    [11:28] dankablanka Grau: i always use assist dice roll when i'm healing to be honest
    [11:28] Leigh Huet: you could then use the command /9healthem
    [11:29] Bibiana Sugarplum: Ok but when I asked earlier about that from another ST she said to use the heal button always
    [11:29] Bibiana Sugarplum: insurge
    [11:29] Leigh Huet: the button or the command is the same thing
    [11:29] Leigh Huet: it comes out insurgee
    [11:29] Bibiana Sugarplum: yes not a role of ability
    [11:29] Bibiana Sugarplum: roll
    [11:29] Leigh Huet: it is still a roll
    [11:29] Bibiana Sugarplum: oh ok

    [11:30] Leigh Huet: every abilitiy listed on that page is still a roll and against another could resist or it could fail
    [11:31] Leigh Huet: if one bites you it will not say successor fail but if you look at your health it will go down some
    [11:31] Leigh Huet: depending on who does it depends on how much
    [11:31] Kell McBride: Question. are the rolls staright up or are factors added in?
    [11:31] dankablanka Grau: but biting is actually always sucessful cause it never says "you succesfully bit someone"
    [11:32] Leigh Huet: points to her previous statement
    [11:32] Nazaire Dragonash: I have had the bite fail
    [11:32] dankablanka Grau: when someone bit me ones....leigh will probably remember i thougth i could dice roll an attempt of defence but it doesn't work this way does it?
    [11:32] Leigh Huet: and yes kell there are always factors depending on who it is against
    no becuase if your health goes down they were successful the resist is automatic like with all rolls
    [11:33] Rune Crimson: Would it mess up anything to use both...say like in a RP you RPed out healing someone and you hit the assist button it succeeded so you use the healthem
    [11:34] Rune Crimson: sorry I am behind so reading back as well
    [11:34] Leigh Huet: one or the otherbut I am going to get to that assist button in a moment
    [11:35] Leigh Huet: when you are RPing be it a fight or just general RP you have all these abilities to draw from FIRSTthe next is the choice of the actuall dice
    [11:36] Leigh Huet: always make sure you have the person targeted
    [11:37] Bibiana Sugarplum: and the correct person
    [11:37] Perissa Caproni: Leigh excuse me..you target someone then do the push then roll?
    [11:37] Leigh Huet: if you have not done so already go to transparent mode by pressing control ALT and T
    [11:37] dankablanka Grau: no rp than target than roll right?
    [11:37] Leigh Huet: I promise I will get to it
    [11:37] dankablanka Grau: i am always confused of who should describe the outcome of my dice roll me or my targeted person?
    [11:38] Leigh Huet: right now I want all of you to see what it is your clicking on
    [11:38] Leigh Huet: if you give me a chance and please hold your questions for now I will cover iteveryone see the egg shape over the head or around it?
    [11:38] Perissa Caproni: yep
    [11:38] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: yes
    [11:39] Kell McBride: yes
    [11:39] dankablanka Graudankablanka Grau nods
    [11:39] Leigh Huet: that is your target
    [11:39] Tussilago DaggerTussilago Dagger nods
    [11:39] Leigh Huet: if you are having dificulty getting it then you are most likely clicking on your own target
    [11:39] Bibiana Sugarplum: aha their hud
    [11:39] Rune Crimson: that is so hard to click on sometimes.....things get in the way like wings and such lol
    [11:39] Leigh Huet: just move your cam to the side a bit
    and yes Rune your wings make it....interesting
    [11:40] Faith Diesel: i always have to cam round my wings
    [11:40] Rune Crimson: I do but sometimes in a fight I am getting my ass handed to me while going click move click move click click \o/ got it lol
    [11:40] Leigh Huet: ok so now you have your target and a blue menu drops down
    [11:41] dankablanka Grau: a grey in my case:P
    [11:41] Leigh Huet: personally I close that drop down menu
    [11:41] Nazaire Dragonash: It's all turn based Rune, they shouldn't be harming you more than once before its your turnand vice versa
    [11:42] Bibiana Sugarplum: the have you target picked earlier in the role play before the battle
    [11:42] Rune Crimson: 2 fights already turned into bash and slash Naz so I stay open for it all lol
    [11:42] Nazaire Dragonash: call a ST or SP, it's not supossed to work that way
    [11:42] Leigh Huet: there should be no bash and slash fights in the RP zone
    [11:42] Leigh Huet: so yes if that happens please call for a moderator
    [11:43] Leigh Huet: ok back on task
    [11:43] Kell McBride: Sorry "bash and slash?"
    [11:43] Leigh Huet: you have a target
    [11:43] Nazaire Dragonash: I'll get her in IM's Leigh
    [11:44] Leigh Huet: what is commonly known as meterbashing or spaming your skills to defeat another player
    [11:44] Rune Crimson: Walking up pulling weapon and beating someone down with out RPing out the fight.
    [11:44] Leigh Huet: but
    [11:44] Leigh Huet: even when they hit you with a melee weapon
    [11:45] Leigh Huet: they would get a box around their meter and they connot hit you again till either YOU hit them or the cool down completes
    [11:45] Leigh Huet: unless you were in the combat zone and then you can hit at each others meter all you like
    [11:46] Leigh Huet: ok? are we clear on that point?
    [11:46] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: yes
    [11:46] Leigh Huet: any questions about that?
    [11:46] Tussilago DaggerTussilago Dagger nods
    [11:46] Bibiana Sugarplum: none
    [11:46] Kell McBrideKell McBride nods
    [11:46] Magnus Diavolo: I think so. If I understand correctly, the HUD won't let an attacker attack the defender again until after the defender takes an action?
    [11:46] Perissa Caproni: Not a clue but it's fine
    [11:47] Leigh Huet: correct Magnus
    [11:47] Bibiana Sugarplum: correct
    [11:47] MagnusMagnus nods. Got it.
    [11:47] Perissa Caproni: oh so it make each take a turn
    [11:47] Bibiana Sugarplum: do all these abilites show up in the hud or do we need a cheat sheet to remember the names/
    [11:47] Leigh Huet: not all of them show up on the hud
    [11:48] Leigh Huet: and why I showed you where you can get this information
    [11:48] Nazaire Dragonash: Leigh covered that a little earlier, its located in your LARPS sheet for your character Bibi
    [11:48] Bibiana Sugarplum: yes
    [11:48] Bibiana Sugarplum: I see them on the pge
    [11:48] Bibiana Sugarplum: page
    [11:48] Nazaire Dragonash: *purz*
    [11:49] Leigh Huet: sl does limit and as I have siad personally I find it easier to type the commands in my RP
    [11:49] Bibiana Sugarplum: ok
    [11:49] Leigh Huet: not go searching through the hud for where they are listed
    [11:49] Leigh Huet: but that is me
    [11:50] Leigh Huet: ok now about the actual dice use
    [11:50] Leigh Huet: click on the crystal
    [11:50] Rune Crimson: its so hard to remember tons of commands during a RP but we are all different hehe
    [11:50] Perissa Caproni: so a / then a 9 and then action
    [11:50] Leigh Huet: yes Perissa
    [11:50] Leigh Huet: for instance /9bitethem
    [11:50] Leigh Huet: or /9pushthem
    [11:51] Leigh Huet: or /9hobblethem
    [11:51] Leigh Huet: or /9missile
    [11:51] Rune Crimson: guess I will have to right all mine down on a piece of paper to remember them when they do not show up on the menu
    [11:51] Flower Popstar: that wouls seem quicker the going to the HUD
    [11:51] Magnus Diavolo: Me too.
    [11:51] Leigh Huet: you can print that sheet
    [11:52] Perissa Caproni: unluss you panic like I do..then it all goes out of your mind..hahahha
    [11:52] Nazaire Dragonash: the panic happens because your into your character
    [11:52] Bibiana Sugarplum: I have found running away works good too
    [11:52] MagnusMagnus chuckles.
    [11:52] Leigh Huet: no need to pannic darlin because we are all hear to RP and it is not a race
    [11:52] Leigh Huet: here*
    [11:53] Nazaire Dragonash: when in a fight MOST especially, step back take a breath and remember that is not you
    [11:53] Nazaire Dragonash: and will se your mind and thinking return
    [11:53] Nazaire Dragonash: I promise
    [11:53] Magnus Diavolo: I like it when they panic. Wait, did I say that out loud?
    [11:53] Leigh Huet: laughs
    [11:53] Leigh Huet: ok moving on
    [11:53] Perissa Caproni: printing this sheet forsure..hahah
    [11:53] Tobyus Flanagan: You can also make hotkeys for them using the Function Keys, just have to make the gesture and assign it. I will typ a note card on how to do that and send it out later and put it someplace on the forums. Of course you only get a limited number of hotkeys.
    [11:54] Leigh Huet: awesome Toby thank you
    [11:54] Bibiana Sugarplum: so how does the numbered dice work?
    [11:54] Perissa Caproni: ty
    [11:54] Rune Crimson: 12 keys 2 are my weapons and there are a crap load of skills so umm not an option lol
    [11:54] Leigh Huet: you can also put them on levels
    [11:54] Bibiana Sugarplum: and looking forward to it Toby
    [11:54] Leigh Huet: for instance control 8
    [11:55] Leigh Huet: or shift F*
    [11:55] Leigh Huet: ok the second to last icon is your dice
    [11:55] Leigh Huet: eveyone click on that for me please
    [11:55] Tussilago DaggerTussilago Dagger nods
    [11:55] Bibiana Sugarplum: done
    [11:56] Flower Popstar: ok
    [11:56] Leigh Huet: you will see where there are numbered dice as well as the three across the top
    [11:56] Leigh Huet: the numberd ones are for modifyers
    [11:56] Leigh Huet: for instance a potion
    [11:56] Leigh Huet: they are only good for one time use or have a shelf life
    [11:56] PresciousPrescious fails to harm Magnus.
    [11:57] dankablanka Graudankablanka Grau hisses in anger
    [11:57] Perissa Caproni: the power?
    [11:57] MagnusMagnus sticks his tongue out at Prescious.
    [11:57] Leigh Huet: danka please do not use your dice
    [11:57] dankablanka Grau: sorry
    [11:57] Perissa Caproni: oh found it a blue gem
    [11:57] Leigh Huet: yes
    [11:57] Bibiana Sugarplum: So if I were to make a pie that creates lust if you eat it. I would use a numbered dice?
    [11:58] Kell McBride: Im not seein mine
    [11:58] Leigh Huet: you would first have to call for an ST to oversee the making of that pie
    [11:58] Rune Crimson: On the right side of the hud
    [11:58] Bibiana Sugarplum: to see if the pie is successful
    [11:58] Rune Crimson: looks like a purple jewel
    [11:58] Kell McBride: sorry I found it
    [11:58] Kell McBride: blue on the hud
    [11:59] Leigh Huet: Faith will be having a class on making potions and things like that we have a great NC for those that do that to spell out all the details
    [11:59] Bibiana Sugarplum: yes but I would use the numbered dice and not a PV abiity
    [11:59] Leigh Huet: for when somone eats that pie they still get a resist
    [11:59] Leigh Huet: the ST will direct them which one to use
    [11:59] Leigh Huet: so forinstance a potion was to bring back someones memories
    [12:00] Leigh Huet: depending on if they resisted or not or how successful it was would depend on how much they would remember
    [12:00] Leigh Huet: so then they rolled a d6
    [12:00] Leigh Huet: depending on the number depeneded on the the list of items
    [12:01] Leigh Huet: so if they rolled a 2 they only got 2 things
    [12:01] Bibiana Sugarplum: list of items to remember
    [12:01] Bibiana Sugarplum: ?
    [12:01] dankablanka Grau: but .....first i need to know if i prepared it in a succesful way cause if i had a low dice number when preparing this potion their memories won't be restored am i right?
    [12:01] Leigh Huet: that was for a specific potion and an example
    [12:02] Leigh Huet: there will be a class by Faith on potion making and how it is doen with the dice rolls
    [12:02] dankablanka Grau: ok
    [12:02] Leigh Huet: PVTarget
    [12:02] Leigh Huet: this is to cover anything that is NOT already listed in your abilities
    [12:03] Bibiana Sugarplum: what does the V stand for?
    [12:03] Bibiana Sugarplum: m=never mind
    [12:03] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: versus
    [12:03] Leigh Huet: player versus target
    [12:04] Leigh Huet: you have three choices
    [12:04] dankablanka Grau: but assis =healthem (in ablilities) isn't it?
    [12:04] Leigh Huet: one is to harm them
    [12:04] dankablanka Grau: what's the difference between these two?
    [12:05] Leigh Huet: danka as I said this is for things NOT already in your hud
    [12:05] Leigh Huet: healthem is in your hud
    [12:05] Leigh Huet: assit could be to assit in someone doing a spell
    [12:06] Leigh Huet: or to heal them in a different manner like putting a splint on their arm
    [12:06] Leigh Huet: or untieing them
    [12:06] dankablanka Grau: can i assist in harming someone?
    [12:06] Leigh Huet: that is up to your imagination
    [12:07] Bibiana Sugarplum: Who is Socrcha Firehawk
    [12:07] Leigh Huet: if say Bibi was harming someone and you wanted to assit the one she was harming then yes
    [12:07] Bibiana Sugarplum: someone playing hunger is here
    [12:08] Kell McBride: So its the generic type of roll to do anything out of ordinary
    [12:08] Leigh Huet: correct
    [12:09] Leigh Huet: things that are not already in your abilities
    [12:09] dankablanka Grau: and it's more worth to use abilities than dice rolls because abilities more increase your learning potential
    [12:09] Leigh Huet: all of it increases your learning potential
    [12:09] Leigh Huet: you can eventually get each ability to legendary
    [12:10] dankablanka Grau: on which level leigh?:P
    [12:10] Bibiana Sugarplum: is that tied into your level
    [12:10] Leigh Huet: doesn't matter the level
    [12:10] Bibiana Sugarplum: ok
    [12:10] Leigh Huet: it matters only if you USE it
    [12:10] Tobyus Flanagan: The important thing to remember is to roleplay using the HUD/Metter, not trying to work the meter.
    [12:10] Leigh Huet: exactly
    [12:11] dankablanka Grau: so the more i will try to usse for example legendary the more chances i will finally succeed?
    [12:11] Leigh Huet: this hud is a too to ENHANCE your RP
    [12:11] Leigh Huet: no danka
    [12:11] Leigh Huet: each ability on that sheet that I showed you from the beginning
    [12:11] PeriPeri fails to assist .
    [12:11] Leigh Huet: you see where it says normal?
    [12:12] Leigh Huet: you can get each of those abilities to legendary status by using them and learning
    [12:12] dankablanka Grau: it's says normal in case of each my ability
    [12:12] Perissa Caproni: where is this located?
    [12:12] Magnus Diavolo: Under the "Learned Level" column on your character sheet, Peri.
    [12:12] dankablanka Grau: so the more i use them the better they are?
    [12:12] Nazaire Dragonash: *shakes head*
    [12:13] Perissa Caproni: oh thought on the dice thing..missed something..thanks
    [12:13] Leigh Huet: like everything in the hud you learn
    [12:13] Kell McBride: Question, say i wanted to excel at gunfighting or sharpshootin. Can we add that ability somehow or how does that fall under something else?
    [12:14] Kell McBride: Maybe a generic type skill?
    [12:14] Nazaire Dragonash: dice roll pvtarget
    [12:14] Nazaire Dragonash: or pvenvrionment
    [12:14] Nazaire Dragonash: if your shooting say,..tin cans
    [12:14] Leigh Huet: actually that is already available for depending on where you shoot NPC's and even other characters
    [12:15] Leigh Huet: everything has a "sweet" spot
    [12:15] Nazaire Dragonash: *is sooo not syaing a word*
    [12:16] Leigh Huet: ok lets move to the next one PvAbility
    [12:16] Leigh Huet: this one is the one most have trouble with
    [12:16] Kell McBride: Same thing for more mundane things such as ...if i wanted to learn to cook for example, or negotiate a legal contract?
    [12:16] Kell McBride: oops. sorry
    [12:16] Leigh Huet: no problem
    [12:16] Leigh Huet: PvAbility is NOT just magic
    [12:17] Leigh Huet: if you are a police investigator and you have been doing it awile then you have the ability to see more
    [12:17] Nazaire Dragonash: tying your shoe, sneezing on someone, farting under the covers and hjolding her head under there
    [12:17] Leigh Huet: think of each as a level of what you know
    [12:18] Leigh Huet: novice you are just learning
    [12:18] Leigh Huet: skillked you have gained some knowledge and are comfortable with it
    [12:18] Perissa Caproni: so anything we do we should roll for?
    [12:18] Leigh Huet: expert you really know it like the back of your hand
    [12:19] Leigh Huet: legendary, you excell in your field and others look to you to learn
    [12:19] Kell McBride: Well that answers my question
    [12:19] dankablanka Grau: so if i am a doctor and someone has serious wounds i may use expert ability instead of healthem?
    [12:19] Bibiana Sugarplum: but you get more out of using healthem
    [12:19] Bibiana Sugarplum: that is in you hud.
    [12:19] Bibiana Sugarplum: and learns
    [12:19] Leigh Huet: you could but would seem wastefull of your power for just a few cuts
    [12:20] dankablanka Grau: kk but if i wanted to for example revive someone?
    [12:20] Bibiana Sugarplum: you have revive in your hud
    [12:20] Leigh Huet: remember these are for things that are NOT already listed in your abilities
    [12:21] dankablanka Grau: kk so when a person like me can use expert for example
    [12:21] Perissa Caproni: Leigh excuse me I am confused.should we be using these all the time or only for special reasons?
    [12:21] Bibiana Sugarplum: I want to conjure a rabbit. so I would get a ST and then do pvability and then expert
    [12:22] Leigh Huet: if you are an expert and congering ya
    [12:22] Bibiana Sugarplum: yes
    [12:22] Bibiana Sugarplum: at making illusions.
    [12:22] Bibiana Sugarplum: or if it is a small illlusion and i dont want to use all that power I might do novice
    [12:23] Leigh Huet: another way to think of that Bibiana is how much really is required to make an ilusion
    [12:23] Leigh Huet: for something small novice
    [12:23] Leigh Huet: human skilled
    [12:23] Bibiana Sugarplum: exactly
    [12:23] Leigh Huet: elephant expert
    [12:23] Leigh Huet: a crowd legendary
    [12:24] Kell McBride: eep. I have to go all.
    [12:24] Leigh Huet: all of this is broken down for you on the legacies websight to help you
    [12:24] Magnus Diavolo: Take care, Kell.
    [12:24] Kell McBride: Got that nasty thing of RL a callin.^^
    [12:24] Bibiana Sugarplum: take care
    [12:24] Faith Diesel: would you like me to find the link Leigh?
    [12:24] Kell McBride: Bye now!
    [12:24] Faith Diesel: bye Kell
    [12:24] dankablanka Grau: bye kell
    [12:25] Leigh Huet: http://legacies1891.com/community/topic.php?id=201
    [12:25] Leigh Huet: this will give you a guide as to the level to use
    [12:25] Perissa Caproni: ty
    [12:26] Bibiana Sugarplum: TY
    [12:26] Leigh Huet: the last is when you want to affect the environment around you
    [12:26] Leigh Huet: which is kinda rare in a fight
    [12:26] Leigh Huet: but alwys please make sure you have the person targeted even when using abilities
    [12:26] Bibiana Sugarplum: like throwing a piano across the room?
    [12:27] Leigh Huet: ya
    [12:27] Bibiana Sugarplum: siege.. imagine throwing a building
    [12:27] Leigh Huet: ok so this is the order of what should happen if you find yourself in a situation
    [12:27] Leigh Huet: well siege is more like affecting a building
    [12:28] Rune Crimson: I am a bit confused...the only legendary I see is in Abilities but how would that be an attack?
    [12:28] Rune Crimson: Sorry I was just reading and reading over and still lost
    [12:28] Bibiana Sugarplum: we are now in enviroment
    [12:28] Bibiana Sugarplum: Pv Enviroment
    [12:28] dankablanka Grau: woow it's all so complicated lol
    [12:29] Rune Crimson: ok
    [12:29] Leigh Huet: personally I only use Legendary when bring a person to full life, affecting the whole sim, pretty much finger of god type stuff
    [12:29] Faith Diesel: it will get easy with practice
    [12:29] Tyrus Olbers: not complicated at all. It is logic
    [12:29] Leigh Huet: exactly Tyrus it is
    [12:29] Leigh Huet: logic and plausability
    [12:29] Rune Crimson: I am finding my logic clashing wit hthe logic of this lol
    [12:29] Bibiana Sugarplum: if it is too much in one class take a second class here
    [12:30] dankablanka Grau: agreed Rune
    [12:30] Rune Crimson: this is my 4th class lol
    [12:30] Bibiana Sugarplum: that is what I have done... and now it makes sense
    [12:30] Leigh Huet: I will do this again
    [12:30] Leigh Huet: but please let me confirm for all of you the order here ok?
    [12:30] Flower Popstar: I am saving the chat log for referance
    [12:30] Perissa Caproni: PLEASE
    [12:30] Tyrus Olbers: even you can adjust it to RL examples. When you try to make a fire, (enviroment) when you try to gather strenght to carry something (abiliity) when you try to attack someone (target)
    [12:31] Faith Diesel: i am putting this in the larps forum for leigh
    [12:31] Leigh Huet: I am stealing that statement Tyrus
    [12:31] dankablanka Grau: yes but the dice rolld are confusing with abilities
    [12:31] Tyrus Olbers: go for it Leigh ^^
    [12:31] dankablanka Grau: when i fight i am not able to remember whether what i want to do in dice roll is already in abilities or not
    [12:31] Tyrus Olbers: but Imma call the cops for stealing =P
    [12:31] Bibiana Sugarplum: I think what confuses some is they forget that there are abilities we have with the HUD and then the pvAbilities that are for things not in the hud.
    [12:31] dankablanka Grau: too much to remember
    [12:31] Rune Crimson: I still cannot get anything over Meduim Environment dice to succeed no matter what I do lol half the time Meduim does not even work so I just decided that a 300 pound Dragon Drow is weak physically and uses magic to move everything lmao
    [12:31] Bibiana Sugarplum: Two different abilities[12:33] Leigh Huet: waits to be sure before she begins again
    [12:33] Leigh Huet: here is the order for ANY conflicts
    [12:33] Leigh Huet: challenge rule MUST be met
    [12:35] Leigh Huet: you may then call for a ST in the OOC group to narrate the sceen OR if all agree and you MUST have PROOF that ALL agree to not call a ST and enjoy your game
    [12:35] Leigh Huet: you must take turns
    [12:36] Leigh Huet: if there is a storry teller present they will facilite the RP only and narrate the outcomes
    [12:36] Leigh Huet: your reaction is based on the outcome of the roll
    [12:36] Leigh Huet: if it is crittical it back fired and you hurt yourself BAD
    [12:37] Leigh Huet: if it is a fail you did not acchieve and the one you were trying your attempt on then reacts based on the action and then can counter attack
    [12:37] Rune Crimson: Question....Do story tellers have anything to do with controlling the scene even if its our own RP?
    [12:37] dankablanka Grau: i am always confused by this turns cause i know first i have to rp the for example attacth so i 1.rp 2. dice roll 3-this confuses me shall I narrate the outcome of this dice roll again? or should it be done by the affected person
    [12:37] Leigh Huet: if you succeeded then you just did what you wanted again the person you did this against reacts and then can counter attack
    [12:38] Leigh Huet: guys
    [12:38] Leigh Huet: I would really like to do this in one thing
    [12:38] Rune Crimson: Like saying purposely changing the outcome of the RP with their narrating
    [12:38] Nazaire Dragonash: ST's won't do that Rune
    [12:38] Leigh Huet: if a storytellter did that they would lose their ability to be a storyteller Rune
    [12:38] Nazaire Dragonash: they go according to the rolls
    [12:38] Tyrus OlbersTyrus Olbers raises his hand and adds "Examples are always a good way to explicate."
    [12:39] Nazaire Dragonash: no big words Tyru, some of us can't understand them *sighs*
    [12:39] Leigh Huet: umm what was my last one?
    [12:39] Tyrus Olbers: what big word?
    [12:39] Nazaire Dragonash: *rolls out of the room laughing*
    [12:40] Faith Diesel: thats why we have to know what you have rped and and backhistory & players intents before we ST
    [12:40] Faith Diesel: so we can Storytelling in line with your rp
    [12:40] Rune Crimson: Just confused on how they get their outcomes to such things...so if I do a big RP the outcome of it be it chance or not be changed due to narrating it to the point of it not turning out either way the person had planned. But thats just my concern sorry I will shut up.
    [12:40] Faith Diesel: any*
    [12:41] Bibiana Sugarplum: the roll of the dice determines the out come rune
    [12:41] Leigh Huet: Rune you have seen it yourself that you succed or fail yes?
    [12:41] Tyrus Olbers: I believe the possitive thing of having a story teller is that, just like in real life, some outcomes cannot be control by you. So even if ti is relatd to you action, according to the dice roll, the story teller will create an outcome, loyal to your attemp but also to the failure or success of it and also the counter attack
    [12:41] Nazaire Dragonash: Rune, rp NEVER goes the way planned because your gaming with other folks who change it
    [12:42] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: Im sorry Leigh. Im will have to take my leave.
    [12:42] Tobyus Flanagan: If you have in mind how the roleplay is to go and how it will end... then that would not work. Things will not go as one plans when it is freeform roleplay.
    [12:42] Rune Crimson: yes thats not my point Leigh I mean how do they come up with.....say we fail in a dice roll and one person gets thrown into the wall but the other person same thing same fail only fails
    [12:43] Nazaire Dragonash: ST didn't do the rolls
    [12:43] Bibiana Sugarplum: well then you both failed
    [12:43] Nazaire Dragonash: You and whoever was playing with you did
    [12:43] Leigh Huet: this class has gone way over then what I intended
    [12:43] Nazaire Dragonash: ST didn't change or modify those
    [12:43] Rune Crimson: you write a story you leave the ending open but know just how you would react if you fail or succeed thats what I am talking about....and I know thye didn't but the ST is the one that tells the rest of the story how much control do they have on the story is what I am asking.
    [12:44] Nazaire Dragonash: noe other than to guide you thrpughwhat to rol and narrate what the rolls say
    [12:44] Nazaire Dragonash: none**
    [12:44] dankablanka Grau: the point is that the dice rolls and hud are enough complicated to be discussed for long long hours i think more classes should be done on them this would diminish our confuse
    [12:45] Leigh Huet: ST's can only go by what your intent of your action and based on the outcome of your dice rolls
    [12:45] Leigh Huet: there will be more
    [12:45] Nazaire Dragonash: or listen to what's actually eing saidand no jumpig subjects
    [12:45] Perissa Caproni: thank heavens.heheh
    [12:45] Bibiana Sugarplum: This has been a wonderful class Leigh... so nice of you to spend all this time with us
    [12:45] Tussilago Dagger: Yes Leigh!
    [12:45] Leigh Huet: it is my pleasure to help you
    [12:45] Magnus Diavolo: Yes, thank you, Leigh.
    [12:46] Nazaire Dragonash: Bi bi, she's an excellnt teacher indeed.
    [12:46] Rune Crimson: its not deragatory to want to know how much control someone has on yer own story I do not believe...I just wnat to be sure that if I do a RP I am not waisting my time cause someone else will just come in and instead of add to it take from it
    [12:46] Perissa Caproni: this class is a serious must thanks Leigh
    [12:46] Leigh Huet: if you would please wait I would like to give you the xp that you have earned
    [12:46] Nazaire Dragonash: too bad we can't give merits to them huh?
    [12:46] Bibiana Sugarplum: you did a wonderful job explaining the hud and the dice
