Random DM nagging 2: Endless nagging

[Nephrite]

Follow-up question about Bardic Knack, do I round up or down? I've seen conflicting reports on this.

Also, do I add my attribute modifier to rolls made with it? So, for example, if I were to try a Perform (Acting) check, would it be 5+8 or just 5? (Assuming the number rounds up).

You round down in D&D unless it says otherwise in a particular ability. Bardic knack specifically mentions rounding up, so you'd round up.

You would add your attribute modifier and other bonuses as normal. It uses 1/2 your bard level in place of skill ranks, so everything else works as normal.

1. Iddy's fluff piece. Sorry about the delay, I may do a second to compensate.
2. Sheet audit for Iddy post rebuild.
3. Concealing amorpha question from a few posts back.
4. Names and places topic. That's a lot of work, so if someone wants to volunteer, I'm all for it. This is by far the most work, so don't expect miracles here if I don't get to it or get a volunteer.
5. Finish research post for Cor.
6. Tainted sorc stuff.
7. Cor's fluff post about knowledge deities.

<Moore> Out of curiosity, i just looked that Pixies have a -4 penalty to Grapple Checks, should I have included that in my rolls to escape?

I'm guessing that's for if *I* try a grapple check, but I figured I'd ask.

Okay, after a pretty shit month, I'm finally getting my crap together. I'm going to try and knock out some backlog over the coming few days.

So it looks like I made a serious blunder some time ago. My Charisma modifier is +7, and not +8. I don't know how I got +8 originally, I must've looked at the chart incorrectly. But the modifier is now +7 since I have 24 Charisma.

My apologies.

[Nephrite]

Addendum: I did not, in fact, make a mistake. I forgot my two bonus stat points went into Charisma to give me 26.

Well, at least that's cleared up.

Cool.

<Iddy> You wanted to do an audit on my sheet since I changed that stuff.
<Kotono> Oh right. Yeah, lemme.
<Kotono> I got a bunch of things that got punted due the whole December drama.
<Iddy> Yeah.
<Iddy> I just remembered.
* Kotono nods. Post a reminder in nagging.

[Anastasia]

Right, I'll add it to the list.

Is there a source of poisons in the city, or is it something outlawed there?

You'd have to be back in town to find out.

Off the record and without checking my notes, I think it falls into legal but monitored territory.

For later dealings-with: Need a ring or dagger of Grave Strike pricing.

I have absolutely no idea what to look into with regards to our shopping. Can anyone suggest anything? I'm open to ideas.

Cross-post this in loot so I can reference it the next time I'm there.
