> Some people want to get into combat as quickly as possible so they can use all their tools to resolve everything. Some people want to exhaust every possible option before entering combat and losing the fluidity outside it.
Transcript:
> Applejack: Figure it's time to roll Initiative, don't you think?
> Discord GM: Roll for /something/, certainly. Tell me, almighty DM: What happens if I try to remove the Elements of Harmony from their possession?
> DM: Well, they resist your attempts to remove them or teleport them away… but you can tug at the necklaces a bit.
> Discord GM: I can work with that. Give me an inch and I'll take a mile. Get over here, Applejack.
> DM: Roll to resist being pulled. I'll accept Arcana, Athletics, or Endurance.
> Applejack: Athletics, then. <roll> Ah, shoot. 16?
> Discord GM: To resist the power of a god? I'd expect at the very \least\ a 25 or 30, wouldn't you?
