[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6153902, member: 7006"] Assuming your husband isn't too far into "immersion" that it would bother him completely... the first puzzle I thought of for your chase was using a Where's Waldo book. You start with some regular chase mechanics... spot checks, athletics checks and the like... then shortly into it the perp runs into a crowded area and you open up one of the pages of the book to have him try and find his perp (Waldo). Depending on his successes and such with the skill checks previously, can determine how much time he has to try and find Waldo. If he finds Waldo, chase continues. If he doesn't, he loses him. You can do this for as many times as you want, interspersing skill checks with Waldo searches. After maybe like the third Waldo search, he finds his man and grabs him. Using Waldo might be a little immersion breaking because of the picture and whatnot... but at least it gives him something to actually do instead of just rolling checks. Of course... if there happens to be a picture search book at Barnes & Noble that's been published that is a more applicable or themed toward fantasy/medievel times... then so much the better for you.
