----> Roll20 Game <----

Roll20/Tech rules

• I require a working microphone through Discord
• Please update your name to Discord Name | Character Name | AC | PP | DC (if relevant); or a similar format
• I have 5e specific conditional token markers, please use them LIBERALLY
• I may make changes to your default tokens (IE: visual health bar or name plates for me; or size changes.) It is probably best you dont directly transfer your token from my game to another DMs.
• I often ask people to ping their abilities and spells. This isn't because I don't trust y'all. I tend to have a lot of moving parts in the background and don't want to miss anything. - After pinging an ability, please give me a moment to read it before you start reading out loud. 
• Whisper death saving throws, all other rolls should be public

Conduct Rules

• Don't be a dick.
• RUNNING IS (almost) ALWAYS AN OPTION
• Rule of cool applies, and I reward creativity. If you want to try something awesome, please ask; it just might work
• Please be ready for your turn in combat. I will skip people if they are not prepared in order to keep combat moving

Mechanical rules

• I typically use the 5-10 rule for diagonal movement (1st diagonal square is 5 ft, 2nd is 10 ft, 3rd is 5ft, etc) this should be automatically measured in roll20.
• Nat 20s autopass saves; nat 1s autofail
• Falling deals 1d10 dmg, instead of the standard 1d6
• Only 2 people may attempt the same skill check outside of combat
• Outside of combat, you can only use the help action for skills with which you are proficient
• Unless the total dmg is reduced by >25%, you do not innately know if a creature has resistance or immunity to a certain dmg type. (For example, if your attack deals 20 piercing dmg and 8 poison dmg to a creature, you could not tell if the creature was resistant to poison, BUT you could tell if the creature was resistant to piercing
• Creatures can still use legendary and lair actions if incapacitated or lose their action economy
• I often use a system called 'soft initiative.' For this, you dont actually roll initiative, rather just decide what order you all will be acting in. This is to make sure everyone has a chance to do what they want to do. Action economy and movement is much more loose during this.

Spellcasting rules

• If a spell is being concentrated on, it is a noticeable ongoing effect, as you are actively keeping up magical gobily gook 
• If you see a spell being cast, you can use your reaction to make an arcana check (DC = 10 + spell lvl x 2 [minimum of 12]) to know what the spell is
• Casting with somatic or verbal is a clear visual or auditory effect.
