The main reason is that I want the rules/mechanics to enter the game as little as possible. That is, I want the majority of time at the table to be the players, through their characters, doing something, instead of engaging the rules directly.Being an old AD&D guy, this comes naturally to me. Tell me what you want to do and how, and I'll figure out if you're successful. The rules are important in helping with that adjudication, but adding additional die rolls isn't the answer in my book most of the time. I get that as a mechanic it can be used to add suspense, but I feel like we're drawn out of the world into this world to play a game.The PCs actions, combined with their stats, gives me everything I need to know about whether they can succeed or not, and in most cases a roll isn't necessary at all. There are very, very few times where multiple rolls are necessary.I get the appeal, though, especially if you have players who like to optimize.</blockquote>
