[QUOTE="Benji, post: 7758756, member: 6793743"] I guess so, but I'm trying to think about how 'who gets to roll dice' translates to a feeling of agency. Also, the probability of the group spotting in the second example is not only reliant on the GM rolling well, but the players in opposition to that roll. So if the GM rolls badl but the highest player also rolls bdly, maybe it's the poor guy with the low perception that flukely saves the group - that's a cool story dictated by the dice.
