[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9274946, member: 22779"] Rogue starts to Disarm: Rolls his dice, disarms the trap We move on. A bunch of pointless faffing about because the DM wants us to "role play now" is, well, pointless faffing about. I absolutely hate playing this way. I do. It's so pointless. "Hey guys, I'm going to arbitrarily plonk in this bit now for you to... [I]role play"[/I] No thank you. If we wanted to role play now, we wouldn't be disarming a trap. It the rogue's (or whoever) time to shine. Let's let that player shine because, well, that player has made a character that is supposed to be doing exactly what we're doing right now. It would be like starting a combat and then saying,"well, it's going to take a bit of time for the fighter to swing his sword, what do you do in the meantime?" Pointless role-play is pointless.
