If they could take ten in the situation, I just give it to them anyway. However, if they need to jump the five foot spiked pit (or anything with a moderate penalty for failure), I'm going to make them roll even with a low DC because rolling is part of the fun. To me, a lot of times when players ask to take ten, it feels like a slap in the face - like I'm above the system and just do what I want. I understand that take ten is useful at times, but I really don't like when my players try to force it on me as a gm.Taking twenty is fine. If there's no penalty for failure, it's just saving everyone time.</blockquote>
