[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 9069018, member: 6787503"] I don't know what point this paragraph is attempting to make, but it seems like somewhat of a mischaracterization of someone else's playstyle, particularly where you state "That description may be required to qualify for a check", and "The player had to describe how they searched the door for traps adequately before they got a roll to find the trap." It seems to presume the player's goal is "to qualify for" or "to get" a roll, whereas what's truly desired is the auto-success you also mention. I think that would fit in with the fifth option on the poll: the player states their character's goal/intention (i.e. finding a trap) and rolls without being asked by the DM. Again, this would be poll option 5 (and maybe 6 or 8 in the case of the player who merely asks "Check for traps?"), the stated or implied goals being "to detect traps" and "to unlock the door". Okay, then you might also choose the options that don't require the player to state an intent. [/QUOTE]
