I have an idea for an action in combat. In the video game link can focus on a monster to attack by holding down ZL. This allows link to move around the monster and have an easier time attacking it. So what if we had a combat action called "focus" that is similar to the hunter's Mark, where you focus on a creature and have advantage on attack rolls against the creature, as well as any ability checks to negate a harmful effect originating from the creature, but you have disadvantage on any of the following against any other creature.

I’ll take it into account if I think it will fit. I hesitate to take any class-specific abilities that already exist, however
Alright everyone, thankyou so much for your patience. We are ready to start now, today, and immediately. I’m at work until 3, but I’m going to see if I have enough time to type something up on my break. If not, the first post of the campaign will be up at some point this afternoon, I assure you. GraySailor has been out of contact for some time now. This does not mean they are excluded, but we will call them in reserve for now.
The posting order will follow the same order in which you all posted your character sheets to the character page. This means it will always start with me and then rotate to the next person down. I can’t wait to see you all soon on the field of battle! HUZZAH!!!
lets get thIS PARTY STARTED!!!! There should be no need to roll dice right away in your first posts, but when the time comes I assure you I will open a dice-rolling thread for us to do so. Everyone will be allowed to roll however you want, be it the site’s rolling function or with physical dice. I will be using physical dice myself and reporting the numbers to you all. I prefer to trust players in these cases rather than micromanaging, but if your numbers start to look suspicious I will say something 🤨
please head what I said about posting order in the previous message, and please please PLEASE HAVE SOME FUN
And while I have the thread all to myself let me give some pointers: take this chance to really let us know who your character is. Backgrounds are great and all but what has been on your character’s mind the past few months? Where do they think their journey will take them? In Esi and Quinn’s case, how do they feel about each other? Are they looking forward to traveling together? How is Conmin dealing with being shunned by his home town? How have the wilds treated him thus far? I’d really like to Wade into the waters of characterization and theme with this first round of posts.
So on the prequel forum you want us to essentially give a more in depth backstory with emphasis on what we have been doing in the most recent months?
That is the main roleplay forum, actually. I want you to play in character, and include those things if they are relevant. You’re in this now though. Not a drill, we are playing the game lol I just meant for that to be a bit of a prompt for your character intro

Only quoting this again so you’ll see this post, as I’m not sure the site has a tag feature. You’re free to skip ahead of Purple just this once in order seeing as they are held up. At your leisure as well.

Thankyou so much for checking in purple, we await your return of course. I’m sorry thing became hectic for you.
everyone else, if you’d like, a bit of DND discussion to keep our interaction fresh.
what is your favorite DnD related book? I work at Barnes and Noble so I’m vaguely familiar with most of the titles but the only DnD related book is the Book of Fiends 5e. Not an official Wizards of the Coast licensed book, but man oh man is it creative.

I’m going to take brief control of your character for this first scene, and say that as Quinn interacts with you he see’s you’re still asleep. Then he can meet up with Conmin and we can give the other players a chance to interact before we get into the story proper. You won’t miss anything major I promise.

Just for clarification @GergorWeis, you mentioned a post order, so should we be observing a turn order per post in the following order:
... for each round of posts?

Thankyou for such an exemplary use of the system!!!

Moving along so smoothly, everyone. I’m quite pleased. @Stefic if you see this, you are free to post if you get to it before Purple.

@ElderCarr
bravo on your reply. Everyone else, please leave it at that until I further describe your individual situations.
A sleeping hero, how else should a Zelda game start.
Personally my favorite book is Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons then maybe Tasha’s.
Tasha’s is a close second for me
