So he's got nothing to trade for extra arrival time.<br /><br />Besides, since we don't use Extra Effort in Combat (no one was interested when I offered it) it would be allowing him to spend extra FP he wouldn't really need for anything else.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-78065373521752373392015-04-06T11:48:19.873-04:002015-04-06T11:48:19.873-04:00Why not allow Bjorn to spend some amount of FT to ...Why not allow Bjorn to spend some amount of FT to increase it (by "hurrying").

That's plenty of warning. If he's in danger of getting attacked there, the whole party is likely already dead.<br /><br />I'm leaning towards #3, right now, starting at roll under 6. I like the "he's coming, but when we will manage to finishing dodging the nymphs and get here?" aspect of that.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-37530885747966778442015-04-05T13:16:41.443-04:002015-04-05T13:16:41.443-04:00My personal preference is roll-under and the chara...My personal preference is roll-under and the character shows up one turn later, so people have some advance notice but not a lot. Basically, they can hear him running while shouting, but they can't do much more than make sure he's not going to get ganked as soon as he shows up.<br /><br />A static roll under against a 9 has a 75% chance of him appearing within 3 turns. I'd probably make him roll against 8, 10, 12 which means he's almost certain to show up within 3 turns but gives some variability and doesn't give great odds of him showing up immediately.Mark Langsdorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301984145275679568noreply@blogger.com
