This thread provides a central listing of all skill rolls that players need to make for their characters so that you don't have to scan numerous threads to find what rolls are needed, and/or so that I don't need to send PM's to each player for every skill roll. Whenever you make your roll please add a post to this thread with a link to your rolls, then I'll update the main list and also your character sheet. I've also added a separate thread that maintains a history of all skill rolls attempted.
This thread will also contain occasional reminders of anything that is awaiting a response from a character (player). If I notice something that I think that I need a player to respond to, and it's been sitting idle for a week or more, I'll put a reminder under your character's name. Similar to the skill rolls, once I've noted your response/update, I'll delete the item from the list and add it to the history list.
Occasionally, I suspect that I'll make a mistake on this list. Please send me a PM to me if you notice anything incorrect.
REMINDER: To increase a skill, you must roll equal to, or greater than, your current skill percentage.
REMINDER: To successfully use a skill, you must roll equal to, or less than, your current skill percentage --Job.

.James has already taken his Geology roll, as can be seen two posts up.
James learns nothing new from the second sets of classes in Climbing and Geology. Everything still feels rather elementary. Especially in Climbing, James thought that he had the hang of everything in today's lecture. The low skills in Biology and Meteorology (which I assume I have 01% in as it is a skill not present on the normal CoC 6th Character Sheet) increase though.

.rolls,You asked me to make 4 Polar Survival rolls.Looked like I passed all 4. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3289200/]Polar Survival roll 4 times. target = 1% (2nd attempt, screwed up the first 1 with 5 rolls.) (1d100=15, 1d100=20, 1d100=90, 1d100=47)[/url]
Martin realizing the severity of what he was getting into wanted to learn as much as he can about surviving in Antarctica.

ooc,I am a newb at this, so how does that affect my skill?

Yes, Meteorology is a new skill that is introduced in the BtMoM Campaign guide. I'll add a description of all new--and updated--skills (very soon) in the Reference section of our site.

Response to BtR,[color=#00BF00]Job's RESPONSE: These rolls determine how many +1's to add to your Polar Survival skill. Once you've made your rolls, I go in and update your character sheet. Check your character sheet and you'll see where I've done this.[/color]

RESPONSE from Job,QUESTION from BtR: So you only get +1% for each successful try. I wasn't sure, thanks.
[color=#00BF00]RESPONSE from Job: Yes, sorry, that's a good question. For the purposes of these expedition training classes, I'm using slightly modified CoC rules, which handle skill increases differently for two situations: 1) using a skill during normal play, and 2) when investigators take classes. For the first situation (which doesn't apply here in this case) that is for actively using a skill during stressful or combat or investigational activities, a player would add 1d10 skill points for a successful use of a skill.
For the second situation (which does apply here), where the investigator [u]trains[/u] a skill (i.e. takes classes or goes to school), the rules state that one cannot add more than 1d10 skill points per six months of game time. With our expedition travel time to Antarctica that will likely take roughly two months of in-game time, I'm trying to make things a bit more interesting for our PbP game than one roll for 6 months, so we're rolling for the addition of 1 skill point every time a character starts a class and also for every 3 days in class after that.[/color]
Sorry for the longwinded explanation. I hope this helps. -- Job.

I've updated all rolls and actions that are needed by players. Please see the first post in this thread to see if you have any rolls to make or threads awaiting your response.
If you have any skill increase rolls that are due, please post a link to your rolls in this thread and, if you're successful, then I'll update your character sheet.
Well, that doesn't help me. Too bad I didn't get that critical success for an actual skill roll.

Darn those dice!
By the way, if anyone feels that they would like to roll in advance for some of the future classes that I've put on the list, you certainly may do so and I'll update the list with your outcomes. For example, if you roll for some class that is due on Sept 27th--even though in game it's only Sept 21st and your character hasn't really taken the class yet--then I'll simply make a note in the list of your outcome.
Also, let me know if you'd like to change any of the classes that I have listed for you.
James wishes to take "Antarctic Flora and Fauna" in the evenings, during the time when Mr Albemarle is not feeling well.

I've updated all character sheets based on everyone's successful rolls to this point. Be sure to check the top post in this thread from time to time to see if you have additional rolls to make for any classes taken or successful actions. Our current in-game date is Sept 24th, so there may be a few more rolls for everyone.
I got everything but Spot Hidden. Again with the critical on a skill increase roll. Well, at least it wasn't for Polar Survival. That would have been ridiculous.

**NOTE from Job: I've added my edits in green and red font
.1d100=70, <- Made his CON x 5 roll (had to be 70 or less), therefore he's no longer nauseous
.1d100=64, <- Missed his "Sea Legs roll (had to be 25 or less)
.1d100=4, <- Made successful CON roll, therefore he's not nauseous
.1d100=48, <- Missed "Sea Legs"
.1d100=8, <- Made CON, therefore he's not nauseous
.1d100=1, <- SUCCESSFUL "Sea Legs" roll!!! Wade is good throughout the rest of the storm.
1d100=44,
1d100=91,
1d100=62,
1d100=79
NOTE: Jrod, your link for polar survival references the same roll that you made for your climb roll just above it. Please make a new roll for polar survival

Hello Jrod. Congrats! Your roll is a success; I'll update your character sheet on our in-game date of September 27th (currently, it's Sept 25th in the Chap 5 Panama->Australia thread).

Yep, it's still in use. My posting rate has slowed this late spring and summer, so this has taken a back seat for a bit. But yes, the first post in this thread has the latest updates and requests for rolls. I still find that this thread is an easy way for me to track and updated character increases in skills.
