[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9069834, member: 29398"] A chance is a desirable thing when the alternative is no chance, and I suspect that's where some disconnect is happening here. Even though you're not saying it this way, it seems your posts are being interpreted along the lines of "if via their detailed description they don't talk me into giving them a roll, and thus a chance, they won't have a chance at all". And in that case yes, you allowing a roll [B]is[/B] what the player is trying to achieve because no roll means failure. So what you're saying is that a roll is the default and from there they can with a detailed description etc. maybe turn that into auto-success, is that right? Well that almost goes without saying - if there's a choice between a risky way and a risk-free way of accomplishing the same thing, the risk-free way simply makes sense. But let's for these purposes assume the risk is what it is and can't be mitigated. In that case, does - or can - their degree of detail in their action declaration/description change their odds of success? [/QUOTE]
