[QUOTE="TheAlkaizer, post: 9125071, member: 7024893"] As others have mentioned, asking players to clarify what they want to achieve will drastically reduce this problem. I also would bring it a health dose of [I]"Let it Ride"[/I], a rule from Burning Wheel (also present in other games, but named in BW!). It goes as follow: [I]"A player shall test once against an obstacle and shall not roll again until conditions legitimately and drastically change. Neither GM nor player can call for a retest unless those conditions change. Successes from the initial roll count for all applicable situations in play."[/I] This mostly takes care of the issue when a player is trying to achieve the same intent in a different way. The goal is to force the player to change the conditions, or to move on to something else. It isn't always applicable, sometimes it will make a ton of sense for the player to try to solve the problem in a different way. But it's a rule I bring in all my RPGs nowadays. [/QUOTE]
