Hm, please remind me, is Kai wounded and in heed of healing or is this just a missed edit?

That might have been old from the original Kai way back when you fought the rats he took a really nasty wound. I think since then that has been resolved due to time.

I'm not sure I follow the description of what's going on with this table (assuming it's important of course, if it's not then that's fine, just let me know).

Initially there was an "orb".

quote:
In the middle of the table is an orb


Now there's the description of a "square object" that appears to correspond to a matching hole in the table, which are both in the middle of the table.

How are the orb and the "square object" related?  Is the orb on top of the square object?  Are they side by side in the middle of the table?

Crap sorry about that. My notes are terrible. Let me correct that.

Generally expecting the people to be out of the secret room, maybe out of LoS of the orb, but on call.

I noticed that a few people are rolling and it's adding the rolls. Make sure when you roll you leave the default on.

In Savage worlds, you don't add the d6 that you roll with your skill, ability, etc.

You roll both and take the best of the two dice. Example:

you roll 2d6, you get 6, 5. You roll the 6 again because it explodes and gets a 3.

your total is not 6+5+3 = 14

It's 9. (6+3)

Your only keeping the highest out of the two rolls. Hope this clears up some confusion.

I guess you mean the roll would be 9 (6+3) not 11, as the original rolls (if I understood you right) are 6 and 5, and the acing roll it's a 3.

If the dice roller is set as d6,d6 in the manually enter dice (with the reroll max and record each die boxes checked), this would be shown as 9(6+3),5

Doh! Correct. Sorry thanks for that catch.

In reply to Vaelan Nightshade (msg # 7):

It depends on what it is, if it's a damage roll you do add the result of both dice together.  If it's an ability or trait check, well explained above.

That is correct but you can still keep the dice separate. I can manually add them for damage. It's not that big of a deal. If you want to switch back and forth that is fine too.

Also and update is coming for experience. It will no longer be drive by number of post. I have decided against this. Instead we will go with the standard milestone method. I will be getting with each of you at the end of this for rewards and balancing out the experience more without taking experience away from other players.
