TOPIC: Dice Roller Feedback

I don't like it, but nobody is going to care about the reasons why as I have a particular way of playing that differs from norms. I already gave my rants to Andrew and people on my runs to get it out of my system. I do think there's a significant upside.

I had the Bead of Guided Strike equipped, but the attacks still didn't register as a Sneak Attack (even though the Sneak Attack buff was applied). I think it also could have been the combination of Sneak Attack + Lenses of Agility + (+2) Assassin's Crossbow that caused the error. Or maybe the dice roller was working but just not showing the "Sneak Attack" graphic?

My rogue husband had the exact same issue—he did not seem to get sneak attack damage applied despite having Lenses of Agility, +2 Assassin’s Crossbow, Bead of Guided Strike, and checking the Sneak Attack box on the app. (IOS)

I heard some things that made it sound like there was no getting around at least one monster's crit/sneak resistance, regardless of tokens...

Possible, but there were 2 combats that sneak and crits didn’t work with the bead.

Hmm, is this how Covid started? With Druegar granting dreams?

Would it be possible to get an "Other" attack option? Something that would show that character wants to try something that's not a melee or ranged attack.

Yes, this. I heard that in one room, this might be a deliberate design choice, but it happened in two rooms. Which makes it sound like a possible glitch. That’s why I mentioned it.

I had zero problems with the roller letting me sneak attack each monster, including room 7. From what it sounds like, people that did have all mentioned having bead of guided strike (unless I missed someone stating otherwise). Currently, I have a bead of guided strike on the way, but for now I am using the bracers still- leading some weight to the idea that it's just the bead that isn't working properly in the app rather than any special monster property.

Given that it is a 2022 token, and that there are other issues with other 2022 tokens,this seems the most likely thing.

I was on two runs on sunday and during the first run, the Rogue was able to sneak attack everything without issue, but during the second run, we were told the last boss could not be sneak attacked regardless of tokens due to special rules that override the tokens on our sheets. I am hoping it was just a misunderstanding from a new GM, since the website & App allowed both allowed it without issue. 1st run Rogue had Bead, 2nd run Rogue had Bracers.

So there were a couple factors in play with sneak attacking the cube.

First you needed something to overcome the constructs normal crit/sneak immunity.

Second you needed a way to overcome this specific constructs 360 degree vision.
To my understanding the only way to do this was by being invisible with something like tokendb.com/token/potion-invisibility/

If you just had the ability to sneak constructs that was insufficient from the bead of bracers since this construct would always see you "sneaking up" on it .

I agree the Cube was likely that

I enjoyed the dice roller and thought it added a level of polish and professionalism to the entire experience.

I'm excited for spells to be added.
