I can't cause anyone to do anything without some sort of direct threat of force against that person or a loved one.Sure.  Those that understand that I can't force(cause) someone to act in a certain way simply by punching you. You are arguing that they have no free will.I think [USER=6906980]@AlViking[/USER] was using unconnected to mean not the cause.  They are distantly connected as [USER=29398]@Lanefan[/USER] and myself have said repeatedly at this point.Why can't it be opened?  They are on the inside. For that matter, why haven't they jumped through a ground floor window? This example isn't very good.Asked and answered already.I mean, my example doesn't involve tracking time closely at all.  But yes, if you decide to rob a house in the middle of the night there will be a small chance that someone is awake.  At that point I need to determine 1) when, 2) where, and 3) why.The party entered a town and one of the PCs wanted to go to a farrier.  I hadn't considered a farrier when I designed the town, so I thought about how likely it was that the town would have one.  It was large enough that someone would have to fill that role because there would be a good amount of horses in and coming through the town, so I added in a farrier without a roll.</blockquote>
