I can't visualize three dimensional environments to save my life, even though I can visualize complex social and political interactions. I played a thief at a table that did this and it made my disabled trap skill worthless, as I had to tell the DM how I was going to disarm the trap before I could make the roll. So I basically told the party that there was a trap and walked out of range and let someone else figure it out. The DM was asking me to do something that I just CANNOT do. I was a good sport about it, but I definitely quit allocating resources to trap detection.For the purposes of this thread, I wonder if the Player Skill advocates would require players who had social phobias, extreme shyness or stuttered to act out scenes before letting them roll their skill check. Because basically that says to the player: "I won't let you imagine yourself to be something you're not." And that goes against the BASIC appeal of the game for me.</blockquote>
