[QUOTE="SableWyvern, post: 9678773, member: 1008"] No. I'm assuming I call for a roll when I think it's necessary. I grew up on Rolemaster, and the nature of open ended rolls resulted in a playstyle where rolling was generally kept to minimum, used when the outcome is genuinely in doubt or the consequences for failure are significant and and the roll actually matters. I don't know if I would describe such a rule as implausible, but it is a rule leaves me with no means to determine success and failure when the result is in doubt, but only one of success or failure is particularly interesting. Note above, while significant consequences are one guildeline, the outcome being genuinely in doubt is another, and I see no need to wait until [I]both[/I] success and failure come with plausible*, interesting outcomes. *Plausible in this case needs to be considered not just in the case of "in this instance" but also, "in general, if this situation were to occur time after time, would it make sense for there to always be an interesting outcome?"
