I pretty much assume that sense motive checks are automatically done that the GM is going to give me enough to go on based upon how they right their post and asking for sense motive checks should only be rarely done to keep the speed of the game up (obviously not a problem with your games) or with very suspicious characters. I’ve ran some that it was sense motive check after sense motive check.
I figure its in the Dm best interest to give me the info they need me to have or they are pretty much not going to be able to run the game they want.
In this case it wasn’t a matter that either choice was wrong but if Kalli had that information before they went above deck she would have suggested a trip back to Lavinia’s to have her change out of armor and into normal clothes.
I mean if I was truly sense motive check happy I would be asking if Lavinia seemed uncomfortable about grappling a nude kalli cause see didn’t like the idea or if the ideal appealed too much to her. (But I would rather the clues be more senseless in the writing so I didn't ask and I'm quite happy with Kalli being the 'lone warrior' type and being shocked senseless if Lavinia did try something. )
Rystil Arden said:That's interesting--most people I've talked to seem to prefer the 'rolls help augment roleplaying' to the 'roleplaying causes rolls to auto-fail', but I see where you're coming from, and I'll do it like that for you in the future if you like.

I've not seen the movie, mostly cause I thought Helen was pretty plain looking to be launching a thousand ships... Anyhow the comic has gotten some good press in regards to being like literature. (I look around for some links.)[/SBLOCK]Yup, typed the letters in the wrong orderThe Iliad is indeed the right book for the Trojan War, but if I learned anything from the movie Troy, it is that I should stay away from retellings of the Iliad because they make me sad
