[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7534158"] I'll try to not reciprocate by denigrating your favored playstyle, but as has been pointed out many, many, many times...ad nauseam...there are many different wants of "playing a character" that count as roleplaying. I think yours is just as inferior as you think mine is. So let's just drop that line of attack...I mean argument...ok? Rolls are required to resolve uncertainty. If I try to persuade an NPC and the DM thinks "that's just not gonna happen" then there's no uncertainty and no roll is required. If an NPC or PC tries to persuade my character and I think "that's just not gonna happen" then there's no uncertainty and no roll is required. Now, that MAY be bad roleplaying...it depends on a LOT of things (of which Int and Wis are just two tiny pieces)...but it's not by bad roleplaying by definition. In fact, it's just as likely to be bad roleplaying as is following dice results, as has been pointed out. You can certainly play the game in other ways if you choose, but a discussion of that probably doesn't belong in a 5e thread because it's not 5e. [/QUOTE]
