[QUOTE="abirdcall, post: 7790941, member: 6748898"] I'm just as perplexed that people go around 'insighting' NPCs in other games. Does everyone just roll for insight when meeting someone? Why not? In such a game does this approach apply to other things too. If the party enters a new dungeon area does each party member 'perception' it? That kind of approach is weird to me. I have noticed that new to D&D players usually intuitively understand 5e's approach of just describing what you are doing. I have seen former 3e players say something similar of 'I make an X check to do Y'. It can be hard to explain to them that it isn't how 5e is designed. I still haven't seen people just roll whenever they can. Maybe I'm misinterpreting what is being said. But I wonder though, in such a game if people aren't doing it, shouldn't they? The whole party should just be able to make these checks whenever they want right? And why not just keep rolling insight until you get a high number? [/QUOTE]
