Who Is Ellen - 148 - HD
Added 2023-06-29 05:08:58 +0000 UTCFancy Chicken Retrieval
Commentary
"It's a stereotype that all elves are into nature and animals, but I'm willing to take advantage of the chicken's prejudices for the sake of the mission."
"You think the chicken is prejudging you?"
"The fact that I am holding the chicken speaks for itself."

2023-06-30 16:42:26 +0000 UTCMaribel is an award winning chicken. Do we know exactly what award? She may have enough awareness of the situation the roll was trivial.

2023-06-30 16:40:49 +0000 UTCSometimes, the skill roll you're looking at can only fail on a 1. Sometimes it can only fail on a 1 just because 1 is an automatic fail. In these cases, an automatic success is frequently called for. There are also times where it's needed for the narrative flow and it's an easy check so it makes sense to skip it. I kind of recall the DMG had better guidelines than this, but I haven't run games in long enough I don't remember exactly what they were.

2023-06-29 17:34:20 +0000 UTCI thought of that too, but there have been times I expected my DM to call for a roll and he didn't. Maybe he liked the arrangement too much to risk ruining it.

2023-06-29 09:25:24 +0000 UTCOh come on! Roll some dice! At least an animal handling check. The way Ellen is pushing things along, like letting the chicken kill the BBEG, and just giving PCs things makes it feel like βsession has gone an hour overtime and DM is in storytelling mode to finish up campaign because no one wants another sessionβ.
