[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9526814, member: 6684958"] This is a big Playstlye. Some DMs have the playstyle of a RPG is a mechanical rule game, a lot like a board game. In this game the player of an intelligent character will just make mechanical game rule rolls and actions to play an intelligent character. Or a charming character will just roll a mechanical game rule check to so something social. The Other Way is the Role Play Acting Way. Where the player will Role Play (Act) out their character, outside of the mechanical game rules. The player of the intelligent character role plays the character taking intelligent actions. Or the player role plays their character being charming. Note, in the Role Play Acting Way the player is NOT doing or becoming any of those things. The player does not "become a genius", for example, they are just role playing...acting...like they are one in their character. It does not matter what a person really is, as nearly everyone can 'act'(aka role play). It's close to mine. As my playstyle is more "Adventure is Life" and a lot less "Adventure is Hollywood". In my game world, NPCs and nature and everything act much more like "Life": That is to say anything can happen. And quite often foes will attack weak points. If you leave your mounts unguarded in a hostile area, well it would be expected that something might happen to them. I draw the distinction between other playstlyes that are more Hollywood, were everything always works out for the heroes and they don't have to worry about ''real life'' sort of things. [/QUOTE]
