[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 6326511, member: 184"] Player: "I'm going to search the..." DM: "Just roll already. Stop talking to me, geez." I like that the search rules allow some leeway. If you just want to let the players allow their PCs to take the time to search everything and just roll, go ahead. I prefer to let them tell me where they are looking. that way, they might not have to roll. Situation: There's a trap door under the rug. Player: "I look under the rug." Question: Does the PC find the now obvious door, or does he have to roll to find it for some reason? Same situation, but... Player: "I'm just going to look around the room for a couple minutes" Here's a good place to roll, to see if the PC thinks to look under the rug even if the player didn't. The best of both worlds, excellent! [/QUOTE]
