[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 5576678, member: 18280"] :confused: No. Playing without your pants on upsets the other players. What you do, in game, with your character, in game, upsets the other players[B][I] through the medium of upsetting their characters[/I][/B]. :erm: No. The Wisdom check, as a response to this sort of situation, is an attempt to ensure that the player has the information that the character probably has, when the Game Master is uncertain exactly how much information the character would have, and has therefore allowed a die roll to determine it. :confused: I wonder how it is that you think you know so much about the motives of others here? Despite what they say? :confused: Like "Roll a Fortitude save", it allows a player to gain some information, without gaining exact information unless the save is made. Make it, and the GM gives you fuller information. Fail it, and the character has some niggling sense that there is something to think about here. In either case, the character may ignore it. :heh: Um.....how is this different than the way anyone else is using the term here? :heh: Truly, pemerton, do you imagine that, because there is a material consequence for throwing your money away, that there are no other potential consequences for that act, or for other acts? Do you imagine that, because there are other potential consequences, you're going to find your money back in your bank account? Because, if you do imagine that, please send me a cheque. RC [/QUOTE]
