Pride hunts can also contribute to a pride's tier, but only marked pride members can post to and participate in them. Pride hunts must only be made up of members of that marked pride; joint hunts or hunts that include characters from other usergroups will not be valid for contribution to a pride’s tier.

Helpful items: If you need help figuring out what your dice are or adding the dice amount for the hunts please use one of the following helpful items: Hunting Dice Amounts or Adding up hunt amounts.

The character initiating the hunt (the one to start the thread) will also be the one randomly rolling to determine which prey is received. At the same time, they will roll for their first round of hits against the prey. They will do this by inserting the code below at the bottom of their post (we’ll explain how to calculate a character’s hit and luck values later on).

In neutral territories, you have the option of picking your tier or letting the dice pick for you.

Please use the following roll codes for your prey animal for a neutral hunt:

Easy Prey: [roll=easyprey]
Medium Prey: [roll=mediumprey]
Hard Prey: [roll=hardprey] *includes extra hard prey
All Prey: [roll=allprey]

Each level of prey has a set amount of dodges that the hunting party needs to outmatch in order to consider the hunt successful.

Easy Prey: 6 dodges
Medium Prey:12 dodges
Hard Prey: 20 dodges
Extra Hard Prey: 30 dodges

To be successful and take down the prey, the hunting party needs to roll more hits than the prey has dodges. Every roll that is 11 or higher counts as a hit against the prey; for luck, anything 18 or above counts as an extra hit. You can start rolling for hits anytime after the first post has been made/the thread has been started.

There is no posting order in hunts and they can continue being rolled for until the hunting party either gives up, the thread dies, or they have rolled enough hits to take down the prey. Please note, however, that you cannot double-post.

Step 2) Joining a Hunt and Rolling for Hits: In order to participate and roll in a hunt participating characters must be at least 1 year old. Other characters and cubs can post to the thread to observe the hunt and learn, but should not roll dice and cannot claim trade exp or petals for participating in the hunt.

The following information and roll must be inserted and filled out at the bottom of each character’s post. Please see the next tab for how to calculate the hit and luck values.

Step 3) Taking Down The Prey and Finishing the Hunt: A hunt can continue on until one of three things happen: the hunting party gives up, the thread dies, or the hunting party rolls more hits than the prey has dodges. There is no posting order, but characters cannot double post.

• Example: If a hard level prey is being hunted, the hunt is considered “won” and successful after members of the hunting party have collectively rolled more than 14 hits.

Once the hunt has concluded, the remainder of the thread can be played out in any way and characters can begin to exit.

• Remember: most trade experience tasks require a minimum of 10 posts in a thread, with two actions completing the tasks, in order to be claimable for trade experience.

The character initiating the hunt (the one to start the thread) will also be the one randomly rolling to determine which prey is received. At the same time, they will roll for their first round of hits against the prey. They will do this by inserting the code below at the bottom of their post (we’ll explain how to calculate a character’s hit and luck values later on).

In pride hunts, the total number of adults and yearling pride members will affect the prey level.

• Only hunts with the proper prey roll will be able to be used for pride tiers. Using a lower tier will not count for a tier.

Please use the following roll codes for your prey animal for a pride hunt:

1-10 members: easy to medium prey, use [roll=smallprideprey]
11-19 members: medium to hard prey, use [roll=mediumprideprey]
20+ members: medium to extra-hard prey, use [roll=largeprideprey]

Each level of prey has a set amount of dodges that the hunting party needs to outmatch in order to consider the hunt successful.

Easy Prey: 6 dodges
Medium Prey:12 dodges
Hard Prey: 20 dodges
Extra Hard Prey: 30 dodges

To be successful and take down the prey, the hunting party needs to roll more hits than the prey has dodges. Every roll that is 11 or higher counts as a hit against the prey; for luck, anything 18 or anove counts as an extra hit. You can start rolling for hits anytime after the first post has been made/the thread has been started.

There is no posting order in hunts and they can continue being rolled for until the hunting party either gives up, the thread dies, or they have rolled enough hits to take down the prey. Please note, however, that you cannot double-post.

Step 3) Taking Down The Prey and Finishing the Hunt: A hunt can continue on until one of three things happen: the hunting party gives up, the thread dies, or the hunting party rolls more hits than the prey has dodges. There is no posting order, but characters cannot double post.

• Example: If a hard level prey is being hunted, the hunt is considered “won” and successful after members of the hunting party have collectively rolled more than 14 hits.

In order to have a hunt count towards your pride tier, it needs to be finished (the prey taken down/enough hits rolled) by the end of the OOC month that the thread was created in. Completed hunts have a hit total that is over the prey's dodge.

Once the hunt has concluded, the remainder of the thread can be played out in any way and characters can begin to exit.

• Remember: most trade experience tasks require a minimum of 10 posts in a thread, with two actions completing the tasks, in order to be claimable for trade experience.

Hunter Hit Rolls: A hunter’s hit roll is dependent on several factors, including the character’s age, pride tier, and trade perks. To calculate this, you will start with 0d20 and add up based on the following:

• Age: +1 (if yearling) or +2 (if 2 years and over)
• Pride Tier Perk: +1 (if it is a pride hunt and the pride is at least tier level 1)
• Trade Perks: Some trades award special perks that can be used for hunts.
• Level 2 Ranger: +1
• Level 3 Ranger: -1 dodge for prey
• Level 5 Ranger: Gives every lion to post after them in the hunt +1
• Master/Sub-Master Ranger Perk Option: +1 (if yearling) or +2 (if 2 years and over)

After adding that up, you will insert your final number into the hit code. When you make your post, every roll of 11 and up will count as a hit against the prey.

• Example: Bobby is joining a hunt. He is a rogue yearling and a level 2 ranger. Bobby would roll [roll=2d20] for his hits (+1 from age for being a yearling and +1 from trade perks for being a level 2 Ranger)

Hunter Luck Rolls: A hunter’s luck roll is dependent on the character’s official luck dice, which is found and listed in their profile. This roll gives each participant a chance at landing extra hits, which means better odds at taking down the prey.

• In the hunt roll coding, simply replace [roll=#d20] with the luck value found in your character’s profile.
• Master/Sub-Master Pathfinder Perk Option: +2 to own luck rolls when participating in a hunt
• Rolling a number between 18-20 for luck will result in an extra hit towards the prey. If you roll multiple figures in this range, each one counts as an additional hit.

• If you are hunting easy prey, rolling a 1-2 means that you are injured
• If you are hunting medium prey, rolling a 1-5 means that you are injured
• If you are hunting hard prey, rolling a 1-10 means that you are injured
• If you are hunting extra-hard prey, rolling a 1-15 means that you are injured

To see if your character is injured or not, insert the following code into their response post to the hunt:

Hunting Injury Roll: [roll=1d20]
