[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 3137822, member: 22622"] Which one do you play? becuse on the cover of the players handbook it says role-playing, meaning that at some point she needs to play the role of the character. This isnt acting, its not rocket science. The player should have just said something, anything and the DM would have given her a roll. Instead she wants to treat it like a bonafied board game. Roll the dice add your skill and hit go. It seems the pcs were in a role playing environment at the time, not an environment where a roll was needed. The DM and the player are in role playing conversation. How muc hfun is a role playing game if the only thing players did was roll dice. GM: which city will you go to Player: Roll dice to know which one has the bestest treasure and the easist monsters and go there GM: Ok you find the dungeon Player: I roll a dice to quickly complete it and take the treasure GM: the guard wants to know what business you have in the city Player: I roll the dice and it tells him what he wants to know This isn't role playing, just a bunch of dice hitting the table.
