Spies and Letters

Post by Emotionaloverload » Sun Jan 15, 2023 4:15 pm

Hello,

Currently, if I am spying on Good Guy #84 and they read a letter, they are the only ones that can see what it says. Even if my character is right beside them or looking over their shoulder. Unless this letter gets put on a board or read out loud, there is no way to see what it said (and even then you'd break stealth, I think, if you interact with the board).

I would like to suggest that all letters be auto on whispers. Maybe on a special reduced radius, if we're concerned. Or if that isn't cool, then for there to be a check to be able to see what was on the letter by nearby characters.

Right now, its very awkward to be following a military type that goes through a bunch of reports from their door - and they could even be rping it at a work desk - and you still just loom there like the most illiterate Arelithian in the world.

Thank you,

Played; Echo Hemlocke-Ralkai, Joshua Colt, Namil Evanara, Elanor Shortwick, Sawyer Brook, Kaylessa Dree, Sines Oliver Selakiir, Birgitta Birdie Swordhill, Bella Weartherbee, Arael Laceflower, Corbin, Rupert Silveroak, Hadi, H'larr Twins, and others.

If possible I have to admit, I quite like this.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
