We didn't do acting for the most part, the game is played more 3rd person I guess.  I'd try to do the same to a degree with other kills, like searching.  If you tell me you are searching a chest of drawers I'd assume you are stand there eyeballing it.  But if you are saying you are going to move it away from the wall, take out all the drawers and turn them over, etc, a search check would not be needed to find the key in the one drawer under the Orc underpants.  I try to get the player to get into the mind of the PC just a little bit with stuff like that.</blockquote>
