[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8739254, member: 23751"] Or... you don't ask for that roll until after you say, "Only roll if you have +5 or better"... or you only ask for a roll if you think a bit of luck can help someone past their normal limits. 1D&D Player: I wish to made a long jump of 30 ft. DM: Are you proficient in Athletics? Player: Yes DM: If you can hit a DC of 25 go ahead and roll. (Thinking: That's the world record. This action is Very Hard so DC 25) Player: I guess I can't make it. DM: Better luck next time. Or... 1D&D Player: I wish to made a long jump of 30 ft. DM: Are you proficient in Athletics? Player: Yes DM: The DC is 25, but sometimes people can beat their old records, so if you roll a 20 you will succeed. Player: A 20! DM: Congratulations. You've made the jump. Or... 1D&D Player: I wish to made a long jump of 30 ft. DM: 30 feet isn't possible for you to make. If you try it you know you will fall short. Do you still want to make the effort and risk death?
