[QUOTE="RedShirtNo5, post: 1971681, member: 173"] Our door opening macro is usually invoked by "we scratch and sniff the door". The DM knows what to do. Yeah, one time when the DM started pulling "If you don't explicitly say it, your character doesn't do it", we started half-joking, "My heart beats. I breathe. My heart beats. My liver does whatever its supposed to do." I mostly agree with Saeviomagy and Tellerve. I don't mind having a spider drop off the cieling to surprise me if my PC is first level. But after first level, I figure my character is looking around. As DM, I generally permit hiding against distracted opponents. This handles the "orcs arguing over the loot as PC sneaks down the empty hallway" situation. I might give a creature on an empty cieling a hide check, but only at a large minus or if the PCs had to search a large number of empty rooms such that they might get inattentive or lazy. -RedShirt [/QUOTE]
