[QUOTE="Swarmkeeper, post: 9061107, member: 6921763"] When we consider The Role of Dice (DMG p 236), it would seem you (and, for sure, others on the forum) favor the Rolling With It style - especially since you say "the dice provide the script". Meanwhile others posters here, particularly those who are proponents of having players describe the approach and goal of their PCs before the DM adjudicates, lean more to The Middle Path style. That difference in styles might be where some of the disconnect arises in the discussion. When running a game according to The Middle Path, "at any time, [the DM] can decide that a player's action is automatically successful." So, those that follow this style don't adhere to the principle that "the dice provide the script." It goes without saying (but I will) that neither way is correct or incorrect, they are just styles of play. That whole section is an interesting read. [/QUOTE]
