[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9059610, member: 59816"] Count me in as someone who does all three. I mean, I by FAR prefer a nice narrative over "I look around. Perception 16." IF they do that, I'll probably narrate more colourfully myself. I have my preferences, but I don't really [I]enforce[/I] them. I also don't really sweat the details, so if a player narrates something themselves, I'll work it into the story as best I can, even if I didn't intend for a detail to be there. I'd probably just give them a nice narration on how beautifully they "dismount their horse" and move on. But I agree that it's funny! As an aside - I never quite understand the idea that an uncalled for roll will somehow result in a character doing [I]worse[/I] if they roll bad. If you're not asking for a roll, why wouldn't they just succeed no matter how low they roll? I mean, I'd probably narrate some kind of setback on their way to success (if they roll low, kind of the opposite of the horse-scenario above), but they'd still fundamentally [I]succeed[/I]. I'm not afraid of extra rolls. [/QUOTE]
