[QUOTE="77IM, post: 7300138, member: 12377"] Another trick is to allow a Charisma (Persuasion) check to make it happen. DC 10 if you kind of want it to happen, DC 15 if it doesn't matter to you, DC 20 if you don't want it to happen, and DC 25 if you really don't want it to happen BUT you'd still be ok if it did. Note: The DCs are based on what you want. The fact that the player even gets to make the roll is based on what they want. Plus their Charisma helps them out, and they can seek bonuses/advantage if it's really important. The arbitrariness of "want" is impossible to argue about, but since you are both getting a shot at what you want, it's at least fair. Note: The DCs are not based at all on what's "realistic" or "difficult" or "expected." Those things are very, very complicated and kind of a drag to figure out and argue over. Just go with what you want to happen, or what you think would be coolest to happen, and the results will probably be "realistic enough." It works because because subconsciously realism is a factor in how you decide what you want to happen. [/QUOTE]
