PLayed Igbar last night.
First notation I want to make is that I was very aware how lucky I am to have games that go on this long.  The Igbarian Story arc/group started almost a decade ago.  So the pure amount of play and story that has been done and created is really getting huge.

Secondly, after years of fits and starts, moving ahead a bit and then falling behind a bit, making some progress and then a TPK, the New Legion is pretty solidly moving ahead with their social position, their character growth, and the storyline.

One thing about running a huge sandbox is that since things are placed logically (in line with the story arcs and the in-setting logic), sometimes people have the experience of wisely running from something and then coming back to it when they can solve (or kill) the problem that they could not do earlier.  An ealier incarnation of the New Legion ran from a Bone Golem a few years ago down in the Sheering tomb; the new group found it last night and destroyed it.  The Sheering Family Tomb (built on part of a sunken old Astrickon estate) has been a source of trouble for the group going back to 08 in real time, I believe, on this very thread...nice to see them come back.

Another gratifying thing is the level of competency in the GS system the group has obtained.  Hidey holes, source charges, source charge thunder, Greater source charge, Static Field, and Great strike were all used, as well as a few advanced combat tactics and a called shot.  Everyone knew to the tee where their critical hit % came from.  The group had a couple good rolls, but they also really, really played a very intelligent combat....though the look on their faces when it's armor started regrowing and it started regenerating was priceless...

Sirrah Grobach actually goes back to the end of 08, and has almost 27k total experience, with Yrtl about to hit 20k, and Ringo, Treygar, and Ebeneezer all closing on 18K.  Oliver has 16k, but has 43 HP, which is bar far the most a PC has had in forever.

In 2 weeks they move on in the second level of the Sheering Tomb.  Nice to see.

Circumstance checks , slightly redone and cleaned up.

Circumstance Checks, or CC rolls, exist in various forms in almost all Roleplaying games.  They represent a standard way to symbolize a character's response to a somewhat standard setting-specific condition.   Since some situations apply to multiple attributes and skills, an aggregate that uses all of these must be used. 

There are five major rolls we use in Guildschool.   

They are:

Reflex, Fortitude, Will, Surprise, and Social. 


Reflex is used when something must be avoided quickly through manual dexterity, coordination and swiftness.  A sudden threat, avoiding a fall or a thrown object may require a Reflex CC roll.  This roll is calculated by (INT+(CD*3)+'Dodge Skill')



Fortitude is a CC based on the combination of physical and mental ability to withstand discomfort and pain.  Shocks to the system, sickness, and extraordinary damage are all reasons that might require a Fortitude CC roll.  It is calculated by (ST+(HE*2)+'Hit Points Skill').



Will defines the ability of the character to resist mental attacks or to perceive a hidden or magical effect.  It also is the CC used for checks against insanity.  It is derived by ((IN+WI)*2.5+'Resist Skill').  This particular Circumstance Check is used heavily with undead fear and spell effects, and so the CC is a little higher than most.



Surprise is pretty self-explanatory.  It is a little different than pure 'reflex', since knowing how to react, conditioned reflexes, and the ability to perceive threats and possible situations are part of this more narrowly defined Circumstance check.  It is used primarily in a combat or ambush situation.   It is derived similarly as reflex.  (((INT+(CD*3)/3)+ 'Surprise Skill').



The Social Circumstance check is primarily used when a PC meets some creature/person for the first time.  It is basically an initial reaction check, bit one that allows for a more suave and better equipped character to have a better chance.  Please note that in an adversarial situation, the GM sometimes has the PC and NPC roll and the amount that one succeeds or fails by is used as an actual social skill modifier for any other skills used.  (((CH+AP)*2)+(WI/4)+'Basic Social Skill') is the formula for basic social skill.



More details on how these are adjudicated are found under the individual CC skill.

running Igbar tonight.
Some times I forgethow lucky I am to have 2 live groups and the online group.
Igbar group started back in 2002, and is now over 10 years old playing an average of 18.5 times a year.  Oldest characters are now just 3 years old (lots of attrition) but no deaths in about 6 sessions.  They currently are finally dealiong with a very old story arc, the rescuing of Salimar, daughter of Palimar and Samria.  This particular arc ties into about three other larger ones and a few smaller ones, and is their first real 'megadungeon' adventure

Description
This spell is often used for minor surgeries or when a person knows they will be taking
some damage. It lightens tactile response so that pain or sensation is less acute. A
person so affected does not feel as much, which means that any small motor skills are
affected,
it also measn that any cc rolls vs pain or hp loss are made at +15%. A good minor
spell when someone is going into a mass combat
