Potentially influencing a player's mood by description or atmosphere is not the same as telling a player his or her character is "scared" or "intimidated."Sure. The role of the DM is to describe the environment and narrate the result of the adventurers' actions, but the boundary for the DM is in establishing how the character thinks, acts, and what the character says. That is for the player to do and nobody else in my view.</blockquote>
