[Mechanics] House Rules

House Rules
1) Initiative is different. To keep things simple within PbP, all enemies will always act on the same initiative count. At the start of a fight, you roll initiative to see if you get to act in the first round, otherwise, it bounces between PCs and villains with order of action in order of posting.

2) Staying alive; is a rather important one, I *do not* watch character's health. If I accidentally kill your character I will usually provide the opportunity to have him revived, or replaced with another character.

3) Critical hits and fumbles
a) Critical Threats; When rolling to confirm your critical threats, state ahead of time if you're adding more dice, or multiplying existing damage, just for clarity's sake.

b) Fumbles; a natural 1 in combat is an automatic failure of whatever you were rolling the dice for.

c) Critical Skill Checks; If you roll a natural on a skill check 20, you gain an additional +10 luck bonus on your final result. Similarly, if you roll a natural 1 on a skill check, you take a -10 luck penalty to your final result. It's not an automatic fail, just a really low number.

4) Healing potions; Will always work at least as well as the average spell. Therefore the following list will apply for all healing potions:
Cure Light Wounds.........- heals 7hp
Cure Moderate Wounds..- heals 18hp
Cure Serious Wounds.....- heals 31hp
Note that This only applies to potions. Wands or anything else that casts the spell at time of activation still requires rolling.

5) If you want to do it, actually do; Characters who take the initiative and start things will be rewarded. Want more stuff? Be that guy who does things!

6) Roll where you act.; I want to see numbers in your post. Whether that's a number and a link to the post with the roll in it, or rolling directly in your post, doesn't matter. I wanna see the die roll.

7) If you're there, say so; I post three to five times a week, and I expect a similar posting rate amongst the party. If you're going to be gone, please let me know, because I will replace players once I notice their absences!
