FFD6: The Dicening: The Discussion: The Thread: Part Deux

Bello can sleep on the floor. It's more like the roughing it that he's used to. Otherwise, he's good.

Will skip to Maris probably some time tomorrow.

Before hand, though, is Bello just rollin' around having fun or is he busking?

[phil_]

If anyone feels generous, he's busking. Mostly, though, he's just giving in to the jazz inside him. Feel free to roll a Performance check for money or info.

I don't have any idea why you'd want to get anything but single rooms. They're cheaper, and more private.

I suppose the only reason to get doubles is if Krylo said that the inn had no more singles available.

How are you handling negative hitpoints? Is it half the hitpoints of the character like hinted with the Vengeful Trait? (So someone with high vit has more chance of living if they get knocked out. such as someone with 200 hitpoints dies at -100) I figured this to be the case because later on in the RP, foes will be capable of dealing quite a bit of damage in hitpoints. And unless someone has the Autolife effect on them (which stops excessive damage from going below 0), then it would easily hit pretty big numbers like -10 if we were using DnD rules as an offside example.

How will you handle status afflictions when a person hits 0? Normally in the games, all statuses get removed when a person is knocked out. Naturally, this makes sense for several like Berserk, Confusion which implies the target is mentally there in the first place.
However logically, a person who is unconscious due to poison should still be poisoned when they are unconscious. So... Is a person who goes unconscious still poisoned and thus in danger of dying if the group's healer doesn't have antidote spell and no one thought of buying antidotes? (I should have Ark buy some of those and blindness cure.)

Still wondering about these questions Krylo...

[Krylo]

Sorry: Half again to die (for PC and PC races, for monster races it may vary on my whim). I BELIEVE it's stated in places other than vengeful (like the combat section) but too lazy to go look.

Status Afflictions will keep on truckin' on at 0 hp for the most part. Some exceptions may exist, such as berserk or confusion.

Heal rolls can compensate for not having antidotes and other things. Also, most poison effects (except for Dark Knights with that one ability that is pretty vicious) wear off relatively soon.

@Drac: Because a double room has more space for people to sleep on the floor/wherever else. Though only two people would have to do such, 'cause 7 people, 2 doubles, 1 private, 5 beds.
