For example you could be lying your ass off for most of the post, but if you were to have started with
then someone would shout at you for being really creepy, but in all likelihood would try to help, possibly starting a huge mechanics and discussion thread.If you had wrote:Hi, I'm new to this board but I've had a look at the Tomes and really like them. However, they are pretty big so I don't want to make the rest of my group read it all. I'm making this thread because I'd like some help Giant Frog.
Oh, sorry, that was my PC's chaotic nature coming through. Aren't I so witty and spontaneous. Ha ha ha references to Giant Frog are hilarious.
What I'd actually like is some help making traits that are actually useful since I'm having problems. I was going to keep some nice ones like Quick, Aggressive and Relentless but add some more. To not confuse the other players I'd like to create some traits for all the player traits on pages 140-143 in the PHB2. Well, except the ones that don't make much sense like Patriotic or Exotic. No, wait, actually I really want those.
I've made a couple so far: look at how I've done and comment pls. No bad feedback tho.
Bold
You are brave, eagerly risking your skin to come to grips with the enemy. Others may call this trait foolishness.
Benefit: You get a +2 to initiative and +2 to saves against fear.
Drawback: You take a -2 penalty to will saves and -2 to sense motive checks against bluffs.
Driven
You are relentless in your pursuit of tasks. You might be driven only in specific tasks or in all tasks.
Benefit: You get +5 to any take 20 skill attempts.
Drawback: You take a -1 to all other skill checks. Any craft, performance or profession skill check has its DC increased by 5 with no benefits such as increased cost, quality or earnings.
Can you help please? I'd be ever so grateful and I'd have postsex with you?
For the last 30 seconds I've been tempted to make a fake forum account and start a thread like that, just to troll.
