devil Tonights lesson is on the rules of gameplay, or at least a couple of them. The first is out of character interaction during gameplay, a big no no. Out of character slows down gameplay, and adds to confusion.

The second, is no player should know another players skills or spells, and their shots left, all of that is info that only the player should know.



Barbus I full understand why Not to talk out of character but why is it important not to know others skills or spells. If I am adventuring with a healer I would fully expect them to have a spell to help heal.
The info on the page is for the player and the DM, just like in life, you do not know other people's skills and how many times they can perform certain tasks.


So should I understand this as we shouldn't even be asking if they have a certain skill.
You can ask the group questions
"does anyone know how to pick locks?" but you cannot say "Jenny, your character has a lockpick set, open that door"


"ok...gotcha on that one..so for example, once I picked a lock in front of a group, then they will know that I can."
yes, only the people in the group, so if Ifritius were to join, he would have no idea, unless you two were discussing what you could do.

Ex "I am a healer," Ifritius says.

You now know that he could make a wound heal.

Errol says "I am a thief."

You now know he may steal your stuff, or he could pick locks, and disarm traps possibly.

Probably not a good idea to tell people that you are a thief, unless you do not want people to trust you.

Sometimes an axe and a sword are not the answer, I have gotten out of situations without killing, if you could believe that, you can sometimes talk your way out of things, or even barter, or bribe. The imagination knows no limits.


I understand that an axe and a sword are not always the answer. I'm not so good with words so this is something I will have to practice. I suppose I will improve with time and experience.
You'll get better over time, I started out only knowing my daggers, then as time rolled on, I picked up all sorts of things.

Unless of course, you know for a fact that the person can do it, which means you witnessed the act.

devil orcs are weak by themselves, that is why they pool together, where there is strength in numbers, if you can divide up the groups, you will come out on top. I can actually see 6000 dead orcs if we play are cards right. So take with you what you learned last night, and you will be strong.

devil Fighting them head on, that would be suicide, out smarting them, that is no challenge, but we must find a way to get rid of 6,000 orcs fast.


You miss my point dear one. What is the best way to get rid of a nuisance? even one of that magnitude?


devil orcs are simple minded creatures, they are usually sent out in divisions like an army, take out the leader, and they have nobody to follow, their morale drops and they have no will to fight.

Hello Thogeon. how are you to night as well? haven't seen you around much.
That goes for you as well Barbus, keeping yourself out of trouble i hope.
Trouble, Me?


yeah you, or is it that trouble always seems to find you?
maybe that is the question, she says laughingly
Muahahahaha yeah, trouble finds me it seems, but you are right, I do get into enough on my own, but now, I see that the town may be in trouble, so I am trying to find a way to get us out of it.
