[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7299404, member: 6919838"] So I would get annoyed with a player at a table where I was the DM who insisted on [insert any given behavior], even if I asked them to wait, because it would feel rude and disrespectful to the table as a whole. As described previously, i also keep the roll and describe what they got out of the check they described - which may or may not be pertinent but often can be as interesting. If they make an arcana roll instead of a history roll and "get something" i will describe the arcane symbols they see on the robes and staves and what they may mean or somesuch (drawn from that horrible blog's example IIRC) We agree on the above with no reservations, i am pretty sure. And yes, from the get go (literally my first post on players calling for rolls in this thread) started with the stated premise of a well established history of the check involved and numerous times i have stated that there will be exceptions in a great many things for new players unfamiliar with the rules or customs - after all allowing players to call for checks does not mean GMs cannot.
