Just your average computer junkie, fiddling with C# and such. :)

Given that pretty much everyone was a first-time player starting with characters at lvl 1... well, I see the joke, but still. >_<

comment What techniques can I use to improve flavor text?
If you don't mind me adding this: if the "stupid" descriptions can be witty and funny, it should work too. I had a genuine laugh when reading your example of a forest description. :) So, while not particularly on topic... perhaps ask your players, if they like the bit of tongue-in-cheek attitude. If so, then don't fix what isn't broke. This is especially true of there is nothing worthy of the bit being described - you should definitely use different descriptions for, say, a sword carried by a nameless mobster and "The Orkslayer".

revised Cheating on rolls as a DM to adjust the difficulty on the fly (or other means to adjust difficulty)
Added a small clarification to the rolls and their visibility in the online-application.

While the app we're using DOES have an option to use private rolls, it means I cannot use the built-in dice-roll mechanism for attacks and damage - the party would surely notice if I suddenly stopped using it in favour of private rolls.

Arrgh, I want to give your answer more than one upvote, but I can't! ^_^ But I would like to point out that it doesn't seem like the HP was changed by much, if I'm reading the monster sheets correctly from the links you added.

That's totally possible... :/

Well, the thing about roll modifiers is that they are made public by RPG Table Online too, as they are part of the roll - I can't really "tweak" those. I definitely tried to fight dumb - in the last encounter an evil wizard animated 4 sets of armour - these didn't really care if they got flanked or provoked opportunity attacks. On the down side - they also knew no fear, so surrender was not an option. I did decide to "turn them off" once they had 10hp left - not destroy, but they would cease moving.

I actually found the answer after a bit of digging, but I figured I'd post it here, as it's not that obvious and might save someone some confusion later on. ;)
