A recurring question I've received is "what's with the dice?" Keep in mind, our room's official standard is T1 RP which is essentially logical combat. However, some people choose to involve dice of their own choosing for decision making and personal limitations of logic. The problem is, if the room's official standard is T1, there are limits on what you can use your dice for. We gladly allow you to impose personal restrictions, but you can only impose those restrictions on yourself, and dice are not tokens for free hits in a T1 room nor a means of negating someone else's potentially well composed attack. Things dice can not be used for: To declare the efficacy of someone else's move. Things dice can be used for: To declare your efficacy of evasion of someone's strike, IE, efficient reaction time. If you are going to roll, the roll will also only be accepted if you declare what the roll is for in advance, rather than afterward. So for example, if you announce "Rolling for dodge, counter-strike" and roll 1, 20, those are your rolls in order. You can not roll dice and then say what they are in retrograde and any attempts after that will be treated like standard T1 combat, which your opponent has the right to consider anyway. We are not a dice room, it's up to players to honor the strength behind dice. Dice systems are by standard complex involving everything from accuracy to power, and a random roll here can't determine all of that as much as show an attempt at balancing, so use it in a balancing way. Let's pretend someone posts an effective punch in your direction. You can declare "dodge, counter-strike" rolls. You can not declare "how hard you punched me" rolls. It is the player's choice to not use dice in an official T-1 room. You can not roll and then declare what the rolls were for. In general, rolls are promoted as a means of players to personally give reasonable limitations to "perfect characters", but are never the deciding sum. You will still be expected to post a response or evasion that still somewhat makes sense too, simply using the dice on things that are unlikely or difficult to perform of your own decision. This is a public service message. |
