[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7788720, member: 6801845"] Thanks for the response. I guess I just don't see a difference between "Can I get an insight check" and "I study his body language..." or similar. I think the end result is the same. After all I don't say "I swing my sword with the intent of doing bodily harm". I simply say "I attack and get ___". Sometimes we use shorthand to communicate meaning, whether that's typing LOL or saying "I make an insight check". As far as passive insight (or any other skill for that matter) I do sometimes use passive skills especially if I don't think the NPC is proficient in deception. The only problem with it is that I rarely remember what people's passive values are. So sometimes instead I'll ask for the better of their roll or their passive value, particularly if it's a longer conversation. If someone is constantly asking to do checks of any kind, we'll have a chat. [/QUOTE]
