Just do more than "I move three squares with my Move and Attack with my Standard while Power Attacking for 4. *rolls* If a 23 hits, I deal 17 damage."You know, "Ug roars his battle cry of 'Blood! Guts! Glory!' and charges toward the orcs, flailing his scythe wildly as he runs forward. He aims for the vitals of the first orc he sees in the line ignoring the others in an attempt to drop him. *rolls* If a 23 hits, I deal 17 damage, and Ug stares down the other orcs, daring them to challenge him!"Which would be completely different for a number of other characters. Compare it to, "Roland smiles and waves for his comrades to follow after him with a wink, attempting to move in the shadows past the two guards. If I get past them, I'm going to go ahead and jump in the hole, ignoring the uncertainty of what lies beyond. *rolls* 18 Hide and... 10 Move Silently."Or "I walk up to the bandit king, interrupting his monologue about how he'll kill us and say out loud for all to hear, 'Fools, I give you this one last chance to run and hide in your little forest. A troop of the King's finest are behind us, and you might kill us all, but we will last until they arrive, and none of you will be left standing after they are through with you.' *rolls* 16 Intimidate."The roleplaying doesn't stop just because there are dice involved.</blockquote>
