Stunts and Exalted Observations

Depends on the ST and players, but that's a discussion for another thread.

I'll get around to making it after my awesome presentation. /sarcasm

By Raw anytime you describe an action and put a detail that includes the enviroment you get 2 dice.

Of course. But the main issue that many of my players are contending with right now is that they're not familiar with the system. From my experience, players are usually more intent on making sure they're doing things 'right' before doing some awesome stunting in combat.

Out of combat... well, that could use some work, but I don't think many of the characters are interested in doing anything extra for basic checks on their surroundings.

Actually, right now, I'd rather the players just announce what they're even rolling for before they do it, since it's online and I can't wave them down and say "Whoa, hold on, what're you doing now?"

But that comes from me having mostly experience over the table top rather than online Exalted playing.

I would think it would be even easier to get people to stunt online vs Table top, I mean most freeforming requires basic 2 level stunting.

For combat, certainly, but I don't get the impression from most people that they have that mindset for non combat related things.

Yeah but I am presuming that people who are used to doing Freeform, would know to do stuff like "I tear off a piece of the man's shirt to wrap around his wounds" to get 2 a die stunt

Yeah, I agree completely... but different people have different perceptions of free form compared to others, in the end. That and when there's lots of stuff going on, everything can be a bit hurried, so not as much thought or description is put into stunting as what you would expect, I suppose.

I'm actually bugging some of the players about your sentiments right now, actually. XD
