All that's going on the IC page is your character's location. Actual play won't start until the 5th.

3 stories is about 30 ft. However, I'm going to say that the hotel is on an incline, with the high side being where the pool is, subracting 5ft. To avoid landing on people, -1 to the roll. I'd say the water absorbs the shock equal to .5x its depth: 8ft. So in total, a fall of 21ft. with a -1 to acrobatics.

Also if he makes his acrobatics roll he will shave 5 yards off the fall.

Correct. Your character is unlikely to die from the fall. Also, Wes passed the self-control roll, so you don't HAVE to jump, per se. If you make it, however, I'll give a +1 to reaction rolls from anyone at the pool.

I am thinking about...I don't want to cripple him off the bat...buy he is overconfident and impulsive....also he doesn't want to get kicked out of the hotel.....hmmmm.

Does he have to get a running start to clear the sidewalk below? Also are you rolling all rolls or just some? If not what do we use to roll? Is invisible castle ok?

Well, I'm not going to screw your character before anything happens: where's the fun in that?

I don't think you need to worry about invisiblecastle Skulcrusher.

I need to worry about if I want to play this one though. It is tempting and I have a fitness nut who's into martial arts or a hunter in mind. Assuming this is still open to new players anywho.

Well, we've already got a stuntman. There was talk about someone playing a contract killer who can't find his contact, but it looks like no one's going through with that. We don't have any mouthpieces, and social skills will still be important when encountering other survivors.

I will do the dice rolling. It helps me keep everything together, and I never trusted electronic dice.

I've revised my character and more details in the next day.
