Some Ed

But it's not rolling past a tripwire. It's rolling through a trip wire, but ending far enough away to be out of the danger zone.

Some Ed

I'm with KC. In this case, it's not getting caught in a trap that was probably designed to get people immediately behind whomever actually tripped it off, so avoiding that would require a fair amount of roll speed. On the other hand, she was running, so she had a fair amount of speed going into it. I could see that giving a situational modifier that turned what would normally be a much higher DC into a DC10.

Wild Card

I like that Ellen was worried that Nanase blew the dice roll and would get caught in her own trap. But it was also a roll in front of everyone else, so everyone saw what the result was. "Roll abvove 10 with bonuses" sounds like a reasonable requirement for success here.

Joe Blue

but Ellen is DM. she can make things up as she goes :P

Joe Blue

Oh I'm joking. please I was joking! I'm not acting going to be upset

KC

Probably the latter, but not unreasonable for it to be the former. DC10's not unheard of for a basic acrobatics check to not eat shit

IvyReed

This isn't goonmanji it's RPG!

Daryl Sawyer

Unless it was supposed to be a moderately difficult check, then 15 would have been barely enough.

Windscion

Tumbling dice, tumbling Nanase.

Diego Rossi

Usually it would have been an acrobatic check, and a 1st level Rogue should have a good skill level in it. It depend on what version of D&D you use. Considering when El Goonish Shive has started, they probably play D&D 3 or 3.5, possibly Pathfinder. In all those games the probable bonus to the roll was +8. A result of 15 generally should be more than enough.
