December 06, 2021 Design Episode 53 :: Group Rolls
Liam sits this one out while Doug, Josh, and Maxx go to town on the Savothian racial abilities. With the changes to Professions and combat actions, they could really use a replacement for Character Bonus. We also go in depth on skill checks and group rolling. Should everyone roll individually? Is the +2 from Aid in Pathfinder and D&D sufficient? We hash it out.
