[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8163609, member: 85555"] The issue is the action of the player is looking for the lost brother. Whether he succeeds at that or not, is a separate question from whether the brother is alive, living it up somewhere, or asleep in a gutter. Those are questions I would expect the GM to answer, independent of the PCs success in finding him. I would also expect the search to be the product of more than say a single roll of a skill. Again this is dependent on the campaign. I am talking about sandbox, living world adventures. In that style, it is entirely expected that the GM has purview over the brother's status. Going in search of him, and finding a grave somewhere, wouldn't be a problem for most people in this kind of game. On the hand, if I was playing in a savage worlds campaign, where we usually expect to have more input into where are characters are going, it might be a problem for the GM to decide the brother is dead if the party was expecting to go on a series of Kung Fu like adventures.
