[QUOTE="Goddess FallenAngel, post: 3221731, member: 11434"] FYI - Skill checks Skill checks such as Listen, Spot, etc. I will automatically roll for you accordingly in situations where you might passively notice something (such as an ambush, or someone talking while you are in the empty wilderness, or to notice something out of place); or when you are actively searching/alert/etc. (such as being on watch at night). A.K.A - all situations that you would normally expect to make a skill check without having to say so. However, there are times when I won't roll a skill check for you unless I get feedback that you are actively looking - for example, you have to tell me you are searching a room before I roll a check for you, or tell me you are attempting to listen in on a conversation before I give you a listen roll. However, I will always say something like: ...in order to give you a chance to decide if your character wants to pay any attention or not. :) (Oh, and if anyone else wants to try to listen in on that conversation, let me know.) Basically, my reasoning behind this is that sometimes characters might not bother to search a room (like, if they are in the common room of an inn that they are staying the night in, or a room in a dungeon if they are being chased through said dungeon by a dragon, for instance ;)) or listen in on a conversation. Also, I had been only posting the results of checks that succeed (BTW, you all did get Spot and Listen checks for [url=http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=3207095&postcount=10]this post[/url] in case you were wondering, but no one made the checks), but from now on I will be posting all dice rolls, as I realized it is a bit clearer. :) [/QUOTE]
