Quote from: jdale on November 05, 2025, 01:49:22 PMIf a PC made the trap and made a roll for the implementation of the poison, I would use that as the target for the RR. However, it's more common that the trap is just there as part of the narrative. Rather than needing to make a roll for the trap-setter, whose stats might not even be known, just use 50. Any time you don't already know the target number, go with 50.
Quote from: luzbel on November 05, 2025, 11:19:09 AMHello everyone. I have a few questions. Probably dumb questions. It might be because I read the rules out of order, going from one book to another. I appreciate your patience and answers in advance.
The difficulty of the resistance rolls is causing me some trouble. My confusion revolves around these lines:
"For Resistance Rolls versus magical attacks, the roll is compared to the caster's Spellcasting roll. For Resistance Rolls versus other effects where there is an applicable skill maneuver (e.g. Poison Mastery, Traps), the Resistance Roll is compared to the opponent's roll minus 100. For other effects (e.g., disease, fear), or in cases where there is no caster (e.g., from a magical trap) or the attacker is unknown (e.g. a poison trap in a dungeon), a 50 is required for success."
No problem with rolls versus magical attacks.
I understand that a cobra doesn't need to roll for poison mastery; the difficulty is 50 + 2 (creature's level x 2) + 40 (hard to resist IV) = 92 vs physical RR.
Let's say I set a trap. What's the difficulty for resisting a poison dart? Is it my poison skill -100 if I prepare it myself? 50 if I buy the poison?
QuoteWhen you suffer from a poison with variable effects, page 132 states that you suffer all the lower levels too. When I read it, I thought you suffered all the levels simultaneously, using the onset time of the most severe one (my guess), but the King Midas touch example in page 268 made me realize I hadn't understood anything (by the way, the 23 minutes mentioned in the example, I suppose, are actually 23 rounds). The example seems more like a rule than an example.
QuotePage 268 has something else that confuses me. I thought the duration of poisons was the time you suffered their effects, but on the aforementioned page it says: "After the duration of the poison or disease, a recovery roll is rolled using the Poison/ Disease column on the recovery table (Section 13.1)."
Let's say I suffer a mild conversion effect, -20 to everything for 3-30 hours. Let's say it's 20 hours. What happens at hour 21? Do I lose the negative or do I have to start recovery like a regular wound?
Quote from: Kiesnowski on October 25, 2025, 11:01:57 AMI would just like to state that this program has worked miracles for my enjoyment of the game. I have been using the program for years now and I can't imagine not having access to it. It works reliably. I have never been able to get fantasy grounds to work well. Maybe I am just old but this program makes it so much easier to play. Just wanted to let you know.
