[QUOTE="iserith, post: 9049503, member: 97077"] I fully agree that the player should clearly communicate what they want to do, including if they are having the character act carelessly. Acting carelessly might well be part of the character's personal characteristics and worth Inspiration (e.g. Criminal personality trait "I don't pay attention to the risks of a situation. Never tell me the odds.") That a player hasn't acted as their "own agent" in a given exchange, however, does not give the DM de facto permission to do it for them. Some players are probably fine with that though. Some might not be used to any other way. I don't believe I've seen anyone advocate for that approach in this discussion. I've stated how I run it already - the player is expected to state a reasonably descriptive goal and approach - what they want to do and how they attempt to do it - as part of their action declaration before the DM proceeds to adjudication. Is there anything about this that isn't clear? [/QUOTE]
