[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7533476, member: 6795602"] I agree, though I am in a game right now with a rogue that steals from the party. Though he is pretty good about not going over the line into the annoying or antagonistic route and it makes for some interesting scenarios at times. He gives back the stuff when confronted after always explaining that he just "found" it. Yea, you are quite a stickler for precise phrasing. I don't think many of us play that strictly in our play. Instead many of us would resolve, "hey dm does my pc think he is lying" with a dice roll, but that's because we ultimately are interpreting "what does my pc think" as not being a literal request, and that it means my pc is assessing the tone, mannerisms etc etc of the potential liar in order to determine if he is lying. In other words, the explicit words don't matter so much to most of us but instead we consciously or subconsciously resolve such phrases as if the player had stated an goal and approach. At least that's my take on what I'm doing after our past discussions. I didn't realize it till those discussions though ;) [/QUOTE]
