[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8718881, member: 6779196"] You have been actively looking around constantly while exploring the dungeon; that’s why your passive Perception skill applied. Have a little more faith in yourself. Or at least have a little less faith in me; I’m not coming up with crazy logic puzzles you need to be a genius to solve. I’m not even coming up with logic puzzles. I just want to know what you imagine your character doing so I can do my best to determine if it would work or not. Look around is perfectly sufficient. Your character has looked around and I have applied the appropriate rules for determining what your character perceives while looking around and described the results to you. If you want to do something other than look around, you will have to tell me what that is. I do t need you to describe it in detail, I just need to know what you want to accomplish and how you imagine your character trying to do that. There are some features that allow you to achieve specific outcomes as described by the rules. For everything else, we rely on the basic How to Play rules. Really though? I bet if you tried you could come up with something. Like, you’ve played Hide and Seek at some point, right? I’ve described the environment, now you describe how you want to interact with it to try and find out if there’s hidden danger with it. [/QUOTE]
