[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7588885, member: 6801845"] Because I like making fun of people who don't know how to cook food? :p Kidding aside, there's been a lot of replies that I did not find clear. Skills still matter, but if you can describe how your PC is disabling a trap they aren't used. Saying "I inspect the door" is somehow better then "I roll investigation and get a 15" when the PCs are standing in front of a door wondering if it's trapped except when it's not. Players never pick up on the fact that if someone is telling the truth the DM doesn't ask for an insight check. Players can ask to make an insight check unless they can't. Saying "my eyes glow red" is plenty of information when "I try to intimidate him" is not. But for the most part I just don't understand why this topic is so touchy. Different people have different styles and different ways of playing. [/QUOTE]
