Re: Fear of the Dark, Out of Character and Game Chat
About my descriptions: If you didn’t notice from the initial thread descriptions, I don’t spend a lot of time describing each and every little detail of the rooms. If you’re in a library, for example, it’s just assumed that there are books, bookshelves, desks, tables, chairs, pencils and paper close at hand. So, if a fight were to break out and you decide you wanted to flip over a table and dive behind it for cover, you wouldn’t need to ask about that, just put it in your action.
For items that can’t just be assumed to be there, like say a Fire Extinguisher which might not be in each and every room, you can always look around for one. In combat this won’t take an action and I will tell you (after making a check, probably based on perception or luck or something similar) if you can find one. Grabbing it and using it takes an action. Some items are obviously going to be harder to find than others.
