Don't blame Muse! His post was pretty clear once I realized Close Wounds was an immediate action. And I wouldn't have waited on it anyway (esp. since he lacks line of effect to Cecily, or range, for the spell).<br/><br/>I've been back in town 2 days but was waiting on Tagan (whether you choose to 'blame' myself or her is up to you; for the sake of argument blame me I suppose). Prepared spellcasters are some of the hardest to DM-move since you don't want to 'use up' something they'd have rather saved (and you may not even know or have access to all their non-core spells); spont-casters are usually easier since they tend to have several copies of the same things available (and you learn their non-core spells over time), and physical attackers are even easier (generally 'unlimited-use' actions). But it's been awhile so I'll move Dora and Rodger today if she hasn't posted by the time I do. Maybe I'll have Dora double-move in an effort to try to find any more hidden enemies, since she's been interested in that (and it doesn't consume any limited per day things). Rodger will likely try to climb a tree and attack the nearest foe (as cats do). Or maybe Dora will use Call Lightning since that gives you many rounds' worth of attacks for one spell.<br/><br/>Would everyone like a more systematic tempo? How about something like:<br/><br/>- Players should feel free to designate fellow players who can post for their characters, much as I have. I don't even need to know - if I see someone posting for someone else I'll assume they know what they are doing.<br/>-Players should feel free to designate 'scripts' / 'gambits' (Final Fantasy XII parlance) for how their character generally operates, so that when I or other players move them, it is more likely to be what they would've done.<br/>- During combat timing (i.e. initiative / combat rounds) I will make a DM post every, say, 2 nights, moving any chars who need to. Obviously I may not always make this schedule but it can be a default. Tonight will be one such, and the next will be 2 nights after that. This lets you know how long you probably have to make a post yourself, as well as when you can likely expect a new DM post if you check in.<br/><br/>Also btw this is yet another reason it's nice to have non-SRD class features, spells etc. available in the char sheet or somewhere: makes it easier for other people to move your char.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
