(Keeping the thread on the first page. Master plan.) While we wait, will combat be based on some kind of mysterious dice roll on your end or will it be on a "as long as it makes sense, it hits" basis? Also, my character's sniping MO means he'll probably see a lot more than the combatants engaged in close-quarters work, but this might ruin a lot of your elements of surprise if I'm constantly checking in the OOC for the enemies present in a very large area. If you don't think this will be a problem, that's great, but just in case, what are your plans for those kinds of situations? I also find it likely he'll see enemies in the distance long before they engage the party, but that would require a lot of extra work on your part to always notify in OOC or PM if there are enemies within his spotting distance.
