By continuity notes, I mean when you make a roll to find out if your character accomplishes something based on their skill or whatnot, jotting down that they accomplished that task so that later you can reference it to show that he does indeed know how to do that particular task. Another question would be why do you or why do you not keep such continuity notes?

#3 corjay Jun 16, 2008 17:52:48	Never have and never will use ranks. Hate 'em.
#4 corjay Jun 16, 2008 17:57:25	EDIT: Rethought.
#5 heliomance Jun 16, 2008 20:39:07	So how do you manage skills if you don't use ranks? They're sorta fundamental to DnD.
#6 Blade2718 Jun 16, 2008 22:03:52	So how do you manage skills if you don't use ranks? They're sorta fundamental to DnD. To 3rd and 4th Edition D&D.
#7 22_Over_7 Jun 17, 2008 1:41:17	To 3rd and 4th Edition D&D. Fixed that for you. 4th Edition doesn't use "ranks". Which is to imply that: So how do you manage skills if you don't use ranks? They're sorta fundamental to DnD. You are wrong. Skill ranks are in no way "fundamental" to D&D.
#8 akal-saris Jun 17, 2008 3:38:42	Nope. It's an interesting idea though.
#9 heliomance Jun 17, 2008 5:18:25	My mistake. I will correct myself: ranks are sorta fundamental to the edition of DnD that is overwhelmingly dealt with by this board.
