[QUOTE="Corinnguard, post: 9167558, member: 7033886"] Several checks actually. ;) The DM would have asked my player for a Perception check to see if they noticed the two rival agents at the other end of the bar. It's a crowded bar, so I am rolling with Disadvantage on my Perception check because there are too many bar patrons between myself and the rival agents. However, I still succeed at my check. But to make sure that I don't stick out like a sore thumb, I have a beer to blend in. The DM asks me to do a Constitution check because I randomly picked out a brand of beer that is a little too strong for most patrons. It's a Dwarven blend. ;) I fail my Constitution check, thus putting future skill checks at Disadvantage. So I fail an Insight check when an attractive person sits down next to me. I don't know that she is working with the two rival agents and had succeeded at a Perception check. She's doing Persuasion and Deception checks to convince my character to stay a while and drink some more. And since I am drunk and at a Disadvantage, I say 'why not?' One dumb thing leads to another thanks to each failed skill check. And with each failed skill check, you role-play the result until your luck turns around with a successful skill check. [/QUOTE]
