[QUOTE="iserith, post: 6626290, member: 97077"] Thanks. That's pretty much how my sessions go (see my Actual Play Transcripts linked in the original post). While I intended this guide for DMs, it might be useful to share with players so that they can see how to state their goal and approach clearly. They can also see what kinds of decisions the DM has to make which may allow them to make the DM's role easier by signalling their intent better. I don't particularly care for passive checks either, but in the interest of being comprehensive, I included some. I don't have a problem with passive checks against static DCs. If a player has stated that his or her character is doing a task repeatedly and the outcome of that task is uncertain, that's a passive check according to my reading of the rules. I set the DC like any other task, based on their goal, approach, and other circumstances. Thanks for the feedback and for taking the time to read the guide! [/QUOTE]
