Some situations may call for you to make a decision whether to attack first or wait to investigate. If you attack first against an enemy, they will be surprised and skip their first combat turn. If you misplace your trust, you risk losing your first combat turn instead.

Mistakenly attacking a non-enemy will often lead to less than desirable outcomes as well.

What does the Remote conversations/profiles setting do, and why should you think twice before enabling it? 🤔

Remote conversations and remote profiles show the toot/profile from the perspective of a well-federated server. This means that, especially on smaller instances, you may be able to see more posts and replies.

WAIT! Don’t enable these settings right away. Hear me out first.

There are a few downsides you should consider:

  • The remote server doesn’t know your filters, so they won’t apply.
  • [...]

If the character is in a tough encounter, they may try to run.

Running performs the greater of an Acrobatics (Dex) or Athletics (Str) check and accounts for differences in speed. The character may flee, flee but take damage, attempt to flee but be forced to fight, or not flee at all.
