Or are GMs asking for "How do you..." really just rewarding players with knowledge of how to deal with horses?Obviously, this is an example but the most common examples across games has come from social encounters where what the player says and how the player says it often trumps the character abilities - "by removing uncertainty" is just another form of "you pass the check."If my ranger gets assigned foraging, I likely dont need to provide much detail beyond "I go out foraging" - well unless I find something interesting or fail the check and get setback.If I get assigned "keep the horses from freaking out due yo the storm maybe i do. To each their own.</blockquote>
