The idea is to create a sequence of possible skill uses that lead to success, leaving room for some failures and varying the results based on the degree of success. And this can also lead to interesting role-playing, if you leave enough options and play the individual scenes leading to a check or resolving the check result out.I remember reading someone writing for the DMG talking/writing about the social encounter rules for 4th edition, and talking about how they would work for both common types of role-playing - describe the scene first, then roll, or roll first, then describe the scene. In a larger context, this seems to apply to this rule, too.</blockquote>
