Hey Rhun, I know you like the players to make their own rolls, but I can't help but feel that things like Spot/Listen etc are best rolled by the DM. That achieves two things: speed of play (not waiting on players to make the rolls) and also the players don't see the results and so don't 'know' if the PC would have seen something or not. Does that make sense?

It does. But I've found that A) players seem to like to roll the dice themselves, and B) it gives me more time when the players handle their own dice rolls. :) Also, without knowing the DC, you still won't know if you see or hear something.

At any rate, either way works for me. If you want me to roll for you, that is fine too.
