"What do I roll to attack?"
Same thing you rolled to attack for every attack in D&D for the last 8 years...

"Should I do x?"
I have players who ask me for advice on what to do. I just answer by telling them that they can try anything they like, and it's up to them if they think they should or not.
Now they are trained to always ask that question as the means to starting a skill check. Next time just answer, "Just tell me what you're doing and why. You don't need to ask."
Here's one:
The party encounters a door.
Player: "What sort of door-handle is it?"
I have been asked this question at least 10 times in the past year, and I have no idea why. It never seems to make the slightest difference in what they do.
Next time, I think I'll say, "an octopus," and see what happens.
I think the most baffling comes from the people I've been playing with for a decade+.
"Can I make a (insert skill check)?"
"Can I do this ?" "Can I do that ?"
Stop asking me that question. Just do what you want and then assume the consequences.
