It's always bothered me that a skill roll can have a crit-success chance of 7% and a critfail chance of 4%, while another roll of potentially equal importance has crit-success chance of 10% and a critfail chance of 10%. It's probably one of my biggest pet-peeves with this system's rules as written. IMHO, all non-opposed, non-damage rolls should be the same (before any modifiers are applied, and target values notwithstanding).

Re. Epic Skillz: Note that it doesn't come into play until lvl 20, and you need to get the skill to 100 in the first place. IMHO, at that point the characters should be that good at whatever skill it is—so good that luck takes a backseat when the character is using that skill. Mind you, the crit bonus only applies to the skill in question, only once it's at 101+, and it takes two or three times as many skill points as normal to raise the skill after it hits 100.

Still, if you're that concerned, Radio is free to use the rest of the doc while omitting the crit bonus, if he so chooses.

Moving on, I like the concept of the Virtue rules, but I'm not sure they're ready for primetime just yet. I shall abstain on this matter; I'm fine either way.

As far as rules go, I'm flexible. Virtue rules felt silly and superfluous to me, but do as you will. Still chugging along, sorting through my character concepts to find something of interest. Being a medical pony again sure is tempting.

Looking at the characters currently posted, though... Four mares so far? Something tells me this can only end in comedy. Had an alicorn idea I was considering, but something tells me I should keep that one stashed away for later.
I do things, sometimes. Maybe...
Planetside 2? Maybe.

Update on my scheduling situation: Thursdays are most likely out for me, but there's still a bit of hope. Mondays are more likely to be doable. I need to see which way the wind's blowing among the rest of the group before I can nail it down any more definitively. So: which day is better for everyone? Monday, Thursday, or does either day work for you?

Moving on: If I do join this game, I'll probably be making an alternate-version of my first FoE character, Silvermane. Here's a general description of him; character sheets for two previous versions of him are linked at the bottom.

Lastly: Did we ever reach a decision on SPECIAL rolls or the Virtue rules?

Any day of the week, Monday through Friday, is fine for me.

Radio has been having us use the SPECIAL rolls x10 in the prologues. No word yet on Virtue rules.

Running tally: that's one for Monday (me), and one for either (Aqu).
