[QUOTE="Korgoth, post: 4533420, member: 49613"] That's how I roll. Or don't roll, in this case. If a telemarketer calls me, I don't need to use praeternatural ninja abilities of voice stress analysis to figure out that I don't need what he's trying to sell me. After all, he called me, I didn't call him. Likewise, in a recent EPT session, the characters had tresspassed the Black Abode of Putrescence Triumphant, an underworld temple of the god of decay. They were confronted by the unctuous high priest and his flunkies, and he insisted that in recompense the party leave one of their number to be "initiated into the mysteries". It didn't take a genius for them to figure out that if they left someone with these guys, they'd never see him again. After all, how often are priests of the god of decay going to be genuinely nice to you after you invade their temple? And I *know*, if I had been running the same game in D20, after that oily hierophant had presented his honeyed and merciful-sounding proposal, someone would have shouted "Sense Motive!" and rolled a D20. :-S [/QUOTE]
