[QUOTE="JediGamemaster, post: 6726591, member: 6802285"] letting the dice fall is way less then trying to make someone explain something you know they can't... I don't know how old school it is, but that has always been my way fo doing thing... like "Can I tell if he's lying" or "Does the orc warlord intimidate him" what does that have to do with anything... this entire thread has been me explaining...I am not writing a story I tell part of a story and the players each control a character when a question of uncertianity comes up I either make a gut call or we roll dice... It's called D&D example: the rat finch says "I didn't do it, no one saw me do it, you can't prove anything>" the player says "Can I tell if he's lieing" no roll me as DM "Yea he isn't very good at this and you are, your sure he did it" vs charming rogue says "I was no where near there." player "Can I tell if he's lieing" Me as DM "Roll insight" while I roll bluff behind the screen if I win roll off "You have no reason to think he's lying" if player wins roll off "Yup, you know he's full of it."
