Something else worth bearing in mind is that in the context of, say, a typical d20-based game, that there is no obligation to put the dice roll in the same place in event for every eventuality. I'm sure it would be acceptable to declare a combat move, then roll to ascertain success, then describe the result whilst in the same game rollling, eg. Diplomacy first and then basing your RP around that. I suspect no-one will die (in real life 
).
Maybe the gaming group would need to declare consistency on which checks are rolled which way, maybe it would work quite happily if you mixed-and-matched the same check rolled different ways.
