When the light turns green, you go. When the light turns red, you stop. But what do you do when the light turns blue with orange and lavender spots?

Vire posted:

A magic attack uses the attacker’s relevant magic ability score, which is usually determined by class. For instance, mages use Intelligence.

so 1d20+4 for you.

Oops, forgot to add the intelligence score to my attack. So that would have been +10. Hit him anyway so its all good.

So something like a ray of frost is 1d20+int+proficiency.

All I can find on the sheet right now is this

"Magic Ability. Intelligence is your magic ability
for your mage spells. The saving throw DC to resist
one of your spells equals 8 + your Intelligence modi-
fier. If you are holding a magic focus—a component
pouch, orb, rod, staff, wand, or your spellbook—when
you cast a spell, you add your proficiency bonus to the
spell’s saving throw DC."

Look at the spell description.

Make a ranged attack roll against that
creature, with a +6 bonus to the attack roll. On a hit,
the target takes 2d8 cold damage, and its speed is
reduced by 10 feet until your next turn.

They basically did the math for you. 6 comes from 4int + 2 proficiency.

I think my shield interrupts attacks, so how do I make use of that in PbP?

I'll answer that here so everyone sees.

If anyone wants to use a reaction ability, like shield block for the fighter, try to resolve as much as possible.

For example, if you are shield blocking, that gives the attacker disadvantage. All you have to do is look at the orokos roll I made for the monster's attack, and go into orokos and make another one with the exact same bonus. Disadvantage means use the lowest roll, so if your roll misses whoever, the attack misses and you can narrate that and whatever in your blocking post.

If you cant figure it out just say 'I shield block' and let me resolve it, but that can take longer.

Are there still 2 elementals on Pragor?

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

quote:

And now, it's time for a teaching moment! covok just managed to provoke a pair of opportunity attacks from the nearby elementals! This happens whenever you move away from an enemy. You can move around them without triggering this, but moving away without withdrawing gives them a free attack. Let's see how Sandy makes out.

Well, when it rains, it pours apparently. Good thing I can heal.

Edit: Since this has already become relevant, what are rules on character death? Do I just lose XP and start over or am I out period?

When you get to less than 0 hp, you drop to the group and have to make stabilization rolls until you fail 3 of them or someone gets you up.

If you straight up die you drop all your souls and have to make a run back to your corpse from the nearest bonfire your character is gone by default but i dont know what ritorix is planning.

Oh hey look it was only Krag's turn, I don't know wtf the rest of you are doing. Monsters are up next.

I'm sorry. I thought initiative block was the order of turns. I bet, since the monsters attacked me then Kragg went, Juliet thought they had their turn and the turn order had come around. When I saw Juliet went, I did the same without thinking.

Whoops!

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Does this mean I can either concentrate and keep the spell up for as long as I do, or just let it do its thing for 1min before burning out?

While you're concentrating on this spell, you can't cast another spell that also has Concentration. Well, you can, but the first spell ends. Also the spell stops if you suffer a severe distraction or fall unconscious. Moving and attacking do not break Concentration. The rules for it are in the How to Play file, page 28.
