Roll really low and the DM describes you comically failing to achieve your goal. Roll just under the DC and they describe you performing admirably but just not quite managing to accomplish what you set out to do. Roll equal to or only slightly above the DC and they describe you just barely pulling it off. Roll well above the DC and they describe you succeeding with ease and/or with style.This makes a lot of sense in games where players are free to initiate checks with the specific action they are taking left abstract, because in this style of play, the mechanics determine what happens, and the narrative is created based on the results of those mechanics.</blockquote>
