[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6370472, member: 7006"] I never let them try again. I always go under the assumption that whatever number they rolled was the best they were going to do under that specific set of circumstances. Circumstances have to change in the situation before I allow another attempt. If they roll poorly on like a lock, to me it just means that this particular lock they just can't get open (for whatever in-game reason we want to come up with.) Even if they could potentially open another, more difficult lock (one with a higher DC), that doesn't change that this one they just can't get. Not until circumstances have changed-- they've gained a level, they've done something to the lock to make it easier to open, the environment has changed to warrant a second try (like if they were in the dark the first time and now someone's introduced a light source.) But just re-rolling for the sake of re-rolling I never allow. There's no point in having a check in the first place if you're going to do that. [/QUOTE]
