That's what I did using the example you gave of checking the pulse. The question you have to ask in these circumstances is "how would he check the pulse" and think it through from there. Again, owning the core books is vital if you're going to DM. You need to learn the RAW so you can confidentally rule on issues not specifically covered by the RAW.Well, it's difficult to assist you too much as you keep leaking out bits of extra information that mitigate against advice previously given. Anyway, I can only suggest, as many others have done, that you buy the core rules and start a campaign at 1st level so that you can practise DMing in a less threatening environment particularly as your players seem to have you completely bamboozled.</blockquote>
