You tell me what you are doing before I decide whether there is a check at all, and whether advantage or disadvantage apply. Depending on what you do, you might succeed or fail without even rolling.WRONG: "I roll Persuasion against the bugbear guard"RIGHT: "I tell the bugbear guard I will give him this half-eaten goose carcass if he lets me pass."Furthermore, all such checks take an action.</blockquote>
