[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7292722, member: 29398"] This is cool! I do a similar thing sometimes, as do my players now and then - low Wisdom is so much fun! :) However, these not-always-serious rolls aren't quite the same as the other types of self-assigned rolls being discussed here, in that with these rolls you're only rolling against yourself rather than against the DM or the game or some element within it. And, as you're also going to be the author of whatever narration comes out of said roll-against-self the DM doesn't need to be involved and doesn't need to ask you to roll...though she may make you wait your turn to narrate your results. :) It's the same as a DM rolling to see how an NPC responds to something a PC says or does.
