It was more of a combination of roleplaying, and give and take on the dice rolls. It almost reminds me of players who spout a battle cry, roll a die, and then the DM tells them what the result means. What this would look like:P1: Excuse me, goodman Tom, I don't suppose you'd know where to get a sword dweomered up, would you? (to DM) roll's a 19.DM: "G'day, sire, and I might, but times are tough, and my memory's so harried, with my daughter needing the medicine and all..." (rolls a bluff check, notes it reduces player's total)P2: "I'll threaten him subtly my standing near him and giving him the stink-eye like I don't believe a word of it." (to DM) Intimidate's a 20.DM: (notes that Intimidate raised P1's die result back up a bit) "...perhaps I might know, after all.."etc.</blockquote>
