[QUOTE="JediGamemaster, post: 6732410, member: 6802285"] then let me be perfectly clear I DO NOT TELL MY PLAYERS HOW HIS OR HER CHARACTER THINKS OR ACTS!!!!!!!!! I don't know how else to spell this out... my players control what there character thinks, says, does... I have never said they don't You keep pretending that by my NPC intimidating them that forces them to think say or do something you do so no matter how many times I explain that I do not tell them how to think or how to act or what to say... I tell them they feel wet when they touch water, I tell them they feel hot in the dessert, by your crazy definition that is taking away there agency... I once went so far in a darksun game to tell a player he was over heating, dehydrated, and about to suffer heat stroke... that still is not telling him what to do how to act or what to think... THE PLAYER IS ALWAYS IN COTROL OF WHAT HE SAYS THINKS OR DOES... even the creaters of the game use the skills, and earlier in the thread we got that from them... The monsters Manuel gives the orcs an intimidated check, using it against the PCs is no different then using the orc's axe...or sword...or bow. STOP TELLING ME I TELL THEM WHAT TO DO THINK OR SAY!
