If I roll a 3 on the die, I think if’s perfectly reasonable to read that as a worse outcome than if I’d rolled a 19. Why would you not treat it this way? I mean, if the DC is openly declared or not, this still seems perfectly reasonable to me. Reading this as metagaming just seems to be making a problem where none exists. Well yes… a GM is supposed to narrate the results of a roll.That’s not really true. I just searched my bedroom for a katana. I am certain there are none here. Why not just say, “Before you call out for the wizard to cast charm, you realize this guard already believes you! Seems he’s a real dimwit!”? Sure! But then, who even needs players? The GM can just make all the decisions as well as the rolls! Depending on the circumstances, for things like searching and the like, I tend to not allow more than one roll for a task. I just look at it as the sum total of the effort. No more rolls from anyone.</blockquote>
