[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5745600, member: 54877"] Or, you can state intent, roll, then roleplay the result. Of course, if you do that, you have no choice but to have other rewards for roleplay than direct mechanical effect on the result. (If any such rewards. Some people are fine with roleplaying is the main point of the activity, and thus its own reward. If you aren't doing it, your loss.) However, you could let the roleplay modify the situation coming out of the results. For example, completely blow this diplomacy check to the hostile forces that have you pinned, they are going to throw you in a cell. But how you roleplay that result determines whether they search you carefully or loosely, beat you up a bit beforehand or not, etc. And in general, even if I'm allowing modification by roleplay before the roll, I want it to be modification of complications, not the chance of success or failure.
