[QUOTE="Blue, post: 9368685, member: 20564"] What the player is doing represents how they are trying to get out. Will I allow Sleight of Hand? Are they DOING something narratively with Sleight of Hand that could get them out? Then sure. Will I allow Athletics (hey, that's not an option. Tough.) Are they DOING something narratively with Athletics that could get them out? Then sure. It will likely have a different DC, but that could be true even of two different approaches using the same skill but in different ways. Will I allow Performance? Are they DOING something narratively with Performance that could get them out? I'm highly skeptical, but it's a heroic fantasy game, go for it. In other words if narratively a skill or tool is being used, then the skill or tool proficiency counts. DC is determined by how hard what they are trying to do is, knowing the context (quality of bonds, etc.). This is basic play cycle, I'm unsure the purpose behind asking if people can use skills. If they are using the skill, yes. If they aren't using the skill, no. Are you asking "can a character come up with something that makes sense to get them out with that skill?", the answer is likely -- see what your characters come up with. [/QUOTE]
