[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 5979928, member: 48965"] Wait, so you don't allow players to narrate the fiction of their failure? Because if so this kinda makes my point to manbearcat... If you read his post he lets his players narrate their failures... and I was explaining to him that I didn't believe all tables were run like his. Now to address your question...nothing inherent in the rules of a failed skill check states the DM must narrate the fiction at that point. EDIT: As to a few examples... Player: Sudenly the reigns are ripped from my grasp, as in that moment I realize I hadn't taken the time to secure them properly and the horse gallops in a random direction at full speed... byt he time I regain control of the steed I'm not sure exactly where I am. Player: Usually I am as one with my mounts, but I can't seem to master this stallion and he fights against my control with every step...I think to myself, "It will take a better rider than I to break him" as I hear the shouts of the riders pursuing me growing closer. Player: I push the horse forward faster and faster whipping the reigns back and forth. Suddenly I realize that I do not have the skill to stay atop the beast at such a high speed and as I try to pull him to a stop I am thrown to the ground. The horse rears up above me and then galllops off. As I climb to my feet I sense the presence of other riders circling me with weapons drawn... it seems my pursuers were better riders than I.
