I tried linking that yesterday, but I was on my phone.

Fucking lol. Reading that on the bus ride in for sure.
Everyone’s got macros, everyone’s character sheets but Cake’s is filled in. I’ve got a placeholder wizard made if he makes it.
I quizzed Zelda on her spells last night and she crushed it.
All is ready, I think.

I haven't seen anything in writing about mixing alignments. Who can party with who. So not sure on that.
Also, are we starting a pool betting on which week we'll be looking for someone to play a Druid in our party?

It’s entirely RP related,so up to y’all. I think someone said no CEs, because a LG paladin wouldn’t allow it.

My LG Paladin is probably going to be a man of few words, barking out the occasional tactical suggestions, but making his distaste for lesser races known with a look.

There are adjustments for up/down on each person, to equalize volume, and the option to click your own mic and mute it.

I did discover, a bit late, that I have an initiative order tool. I should have been using that instead of writing it down. It creates an ordered table that I can just move through.

I don't like the "initiative you roll at the beginning sticks through several rounds of combat." That doesn't seem correct. Double check that.
Used to be you rolled initiative every round, and that's how we liked it. We loved it.

Here's the PHB on Roll20. I also bolded something i discovered right above that passage that made me super happy.
Initiative
Initiative determines the order of turns during combat. When combat starts, every participant makes a Dexterity check to determine their place in the initiative order. The GM makes one roll for an entire group of identical creatures, so each member of the group acts at the same time.
The GM ranks the combatants in order from the one with the highest Dexterity check total to the one with the lowest. This is the order (called the initiative order) in which they act during each round. The initiative order remains the same from round to round.
* different INIT's for the same spider was brutal
e2: it also meant an entire pack of wolves should have had 17 initiative in our first tactical battle. That would have hurt

I also found a Ring of Evasion and a Bag of Holding.
Seriously though, is it your job to kill us or challenge us? Had those wolves all acted first, it's very likely we would have all died.
You need to be more like this guy:

Ha - but you guys wrecked those bandits so hard. The wolves were better than a realized, and worth a little more XP.
In my defense. You were warned there were dangerous wolves behind a rock. Ya'll just walked right up.
They popped into the order as soon as you noticed each other.

"Fuck... the wolf missed..."

We were warned. And then you said "You need to go right over here" *pings map*.
Over all, I think things went well last night. It wasn't handed to us, but no permanent damage was done.
Gordon asked about taking a defensive posture last night: Actions in Combat
Page 192 - Dodge: You focus entirely on avoiding attacks until your next turn. Any attack roll made against you has disadvantage if you can see the attacker . . .
There is also 'Disengage' - Your movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks for the rest of the turn. Can't attack, but can move without opportunity attack. So, Mord could have moved toward that one spider without getting attacked by the one close to him.
Hide is also an action. Being that me are mostly TKV members, I think this action should have been used WAY more than it was last night.
I'm going to make other notes in here that I come across that we may not have been applying last night. If they are rules we are ignoring (materials for casting), then cool. DM's call. Just wanted to make note of them in case they were just over looked as there's a lot going on.
Advantage/disadvantage: If two actions give you advantage/disadvantage, only one extra D20 is rolled and applied to both situations.
We can move, attack, move again up to the max 30 feet.
Ready - You can put your turn on hold declaring a trigger. If that trigger occurs, you take your turn (or continue to hold thus giving up your turn). "I hold ready for an attack. If the monster advances next to me, I attack." I can ready a spell and hold it for a trigger as well.
Opportunity attacks only occur when you move out of reach of another creature.
Cover gives +2 or +5 bonus to AC and Dex saving throws.
Just read that the "damage modifier is not added to many spells, especially cantrips". Have to figure out how to know which get it and which don't, if that statement is correct. Reading further, "the spell will specifically state if you are adding your spell casting modifier to your damage. By default you do not. And looking further, there are spells that specify adding it." None of mine do so far.
Each spell's description indicates whether you need to make an attack roll, or the target needs to make a saving throw, or both. - So, if a spell doesn't specify a saving throw, there isn't one? As in, no saving throw against a Firebolt?
Does a DC 10 Wisdom check mean that you need a roll of 10 or higher (after adding your Wis modifier)?
Seems setting up your spells on your CORE page could conflict with what's on your SPELLS page. Playing around and it seems some changes made on one page will update the other, but some changes don't. Very confusing.
That's all for now.
