Great video! I started playing thru and made many of the same...plus a few more...of the same mistakes. Tons of fun though!

Thanks for the video, it was a lot of fun! You did forget to mark a couple of your skills for progress, since you rolled doubles!

Ah right!!!! Thx Alex. Loving it.

I once again have a couple times I accidentally leave the pdf on the screen. At least I recover reasonably quickly.....

Regarding grasp attack (response from Alex on Discord) Q: I do have a question on the Flesh Eater's grasp attack. It's Physical, so I assume you still roll a to hit and defensive roll first. Then the Athletics check to see if you're grappled. Once grappled, do you roll new actions on the flesh eater's turn, or does it just maintain the grapple until you break it or die? I've been playing it that I still roll an action, and if I roll Grasp again, it just maintains. Any other result means it lets go and uses the newly rolled attack. Also, while grappled, can I still attack/use abilities? Thanks for your thoughts! A: As for your question: yes, you do need an opposed check first to see if they grab you, but this one is just the Athletics check, no attack/defense rolls. Once grappled, they do nothing but maintain that damage until you escape by passing an Athletics check (just a check, not opposed). I need to clarify that better. And I'm afraid that all you can do in your turn is attempt to escape. So yeah, pretty nasty!

I ended up simplifying it, and just turning the Grasp into a standard Entangled effect. So now the attack reads like this: "Grasp (Physical): The Flesh Eater lunges at a target, attempting to engulf it in its rotting embrace. The target must make an Athletics opposed check. On a failure, they are Entangled by the Flesh Eater, taking D8 Bludgeoning damage at the start of their turn until they free themself." This way you know you only need to refer to the Entangled Condition.

After reading the rules a few times I do think I could use the +10 from the "quick" property of the dagger on my defensive combat rolls.

I don't want to contradict Alex, but I think you add +10 from "Quick" to the Initiative Check and the +10 from the Speed of the Dagger to each Combat Skill check for the Dagger.

@@itsgorani9133 ah yes, you're 100% correct, haha. That's what I get for not paying attention to the question...

I haven’t finished the video yet, so you may have addressed it, but looking at your character sheet it looks like you still need to choose a second personal goal, and I’d definitely recommend doing so!

Do combatants not need to roll on the Fumble table if they critically fail on a defending combat skill check? (That ended one of my playthroughs when my weapon broke and the rats wore me down.)

They do need to roll if they critically fail. I definitely made some mistakes.

@@LordGwydion Thanks for that clarification. It seems like it might be a house rule or unofficial update in that combat matrix.

​@@LordGwydionI struggled with this rule, because the wording on the fumble chart all indicate a failed attack, so rolling a fumbled defence on this chart seems off 🤔
