[QUOTE="tensen, post: 2569379, member: 3022"] This works well with my character that is a shaman and constantly paying attention to the wrong things. Talking to plants when a mad killer army is charging the party. Note as a DM I find I give different results to people based on their skills. Someone that has a high spot and rolls poorly just notices something else that draws his/her attention away. Or was doing something else.. like picking up a item that fell from their backpack. Someone with a really low or non-existant skill but rolls a 20, might get it from a different perspective. Ie. Scout party of orcs traveling a mountain pass below the party but otherwise moving stealthy. The party of adventurers is otherwise moving long at a good pace on the mountain pass above them, but one of the party trips and lands on his chest, with his head at the edge of the ledge.. while there he notices the orcs below. if he hadn't fallen, he wouldn't have noticed.
