[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4503954, member: 70778"] I can type a lot, but not read a lot sorry, so this is what I have to respond to for now. Maybe more later... The player can attempt to do things that may including trying to aim the tentacle at the door, but I would make that more than one check or a very high DC meaning the actuality of it happening would be very low possibility. Odds are they can jump aobut good enough, but if they don't push in the right direction at the right moment then the tentacle will not go that direction. It also leads to the other point that the tentacle just might not reach the door. There is nothing saying it is long enough. So even bouncing around the right way and causing the tentacle to go towards the door, may mean that the effort is wasted due to not being able to connect with the door with enough surface contact to do anything by piss off the thing whose tentacle it is. The more complex the action the less likely the chance of success. Remember called shots from older editions? I don't recall where, but an sure it was stated that the player need not be the one solving puzzles and the option for rolling dice to get out was a way to not hinder those players from playing that could not perform/act/whatever to do these skill challenges. So certain players don't look dumb to others, or there is unfair portions of the game that only certain types of people can play in....Something along those lines. [/QUOTE]
