No need to apologize; I understand that life happens, and I had a few things to work on while I waited.

Before I post, I would like to ask for a little collaborative input. Given that you're rolling dice in order to determine the success of a lot of actions based on stats (of which my character has no D&D sheet to compare to yours with), while I prefer to let the characters themselves be the determining factor, how would you say the attempt at intimidation (from a dice/stats perspective) would be compromised by the inherent fearlessness and resolve of Abel? I'd like to hear your input on this before I make a realistic assessment of his reaction using my free-form means. I don't know if these characteristics of his are factored into the dice mechanics.

I'll start working on my post in the background while I wait for your response. If you're unable to get back to me before I need to sleep, I'll post my reply and any problems with it can be discussed after I've rested.
