[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8275663, member: 6779196"] Yes, it’s the DM’s tool. Follow the fiction. Keep the game moving. Don’t call for multiple rolls when one will do. The player should, in my opinion, always be made aware of the DC for their check and consequences of failure before they roll. So yes, they will know if failure will lead to no progress or progress with a setback. The player describes what they want to achieve and what their character does to try and achieve it, which is the information the DM uses to determine if success and failure are possible and if the attempt has a cost or failure has a consequence (and if so, what). They can also choose not to go through with an action if the results of failure the DM describes are significantly different than they would have expected based on their goal and approach (which in my experience is quite rare, and usually happens due to a miscommunication).
