That's kind of the heart of this debate. :P That's true, though I still think it unlikely that 6 seconds is going to make that much of...

I think that comes down to how granular one prefers to be, which in turn often comes down to simulation vs drama. That probably depends...

Why? Why did the pick lock roll need to make it so that they could not be saved in time? If 6 seconds is going to be the difference...

No. After the lock opens, a simple, "I open the door and look inside" is fine. No need to make it separate declarations if you include...

Assume that is not established. These would certainly strengthen the justification for the desert rose to be there, but why would they...

Because you don't have access to it until you open the safe door. Until then unless you can phase your hand through steel, it's not...

Even then you didn't kill that person directly when you locked him in. It was indirect. If you shoot someone in the leg and give that...

Those are really bad examples. Poison killing someone is a DIRECT effect. Clicking the mouse and the post being posted is a DIRECT...

Connected yes. Connected close enough to be tied to the pick lock roll? Not in my opinion. Suppose they get the door open the first...

If the party can pick the lock from the outside and lead the folks inside back out through the door, then the folks inside can just walk...

Yes they are connected, potentially, in the downstream. No they are not connected in the immediate. It's a question of granularity...

I miss the phone call if I can't open my door. I also miss it if I get home five minutes later and can open my door (unless the caller...

All this tells me is that we have different ideas of what can be fun in the game. And don't get me wrong - it doesn't have to become an...

Who's equivocating? If this were a game and the characters hear screams for help, the fire has already been established in the fiction...
