1. I have adjusted things to where only you as a member can see your private section, along with myself. This means that there is no chance for you to stumble on someone else's private section. I have also set up an area where if you want to have a private section with a PC then you can go there. Just put 'PRIVATE' followed by your name and the other PC's name. i.e. If Rhianwen & Mirin want to have a chit-chat, then they'll post under the PC Talk area the following topic "PRIVATE Rhianwen & Mirin".
2. Combat's going to be a little complicated, and will somewhat resemble an rpg. When you post you will announce what power you are using. When you roll, you will roll a d20 for Initiative (Who goes in what order), another d20 to determine if it will hit, roll your damage based on what the attack says, then roll a final d20 for any saves you might need. Here's an example:
Post 1:
Attacking Combatant A
Using Piercing Strike
Encounter ✦ Divine, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Strength vs. Reflex
Hit: 2[W] + Strength modifier damage, and the target and a number of enemies adjacent to you equal to your Wisdom
modifier are marked until the end of your next turn.
Roll Results were as follows.
#1 'd20' : 19
--------------------------------
#2 'd20' : 10
--------------------------------
#3 'd10' : 8
--------------------------------
#4 'd10' : 1
--------------------------------
#5 'd20' : 20
==================
This means that Arianrhod would go pretty close to first, if not first. Her strike landed, dealing 8+1+5 damage, for a total of 14. And since she rolled a nat 20 for saves, then she succeeds any required saves and gains a bonus vs. further saves.
This combat style may take some time getting used to and may cause combat to take a little longer, but I think it will work out in the end.
So as per usual, post that you have read the new rules before you post in the main rp.
