[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 8132272, member: 59057"] Good catch. Although I think, being hones about something is not a bad Idea. Probably, if the player rolls High anyway, they might just use the die and see what happens. Usually it is a constant bonus of 1 psi die that cost´s nothing... just makes good rolls even better. And why not. Usually if you wanted to use the die anyway, you are not afraid of losing it. Still I do stand my point, at some DC, it is still unclear what is a success for perception, the same may go for stealth. At which point does it count as a success... if you beat 1 passive perception, or all? Or if you make the check when you start sneaking, before anyone makes their roll. If you beat everyone´s perception check, you may not use the roll? After an enemy makes an active search check, does your roll retroactively fail and you may use your roll? Probaby the best way to handle such a situation would be just asking the player what they count as a success and just allow them to keep it up spending the die, or dismiss it not spending it. For stealth or perception, probably it is for the player to decide, what is a success and what not. [/QUOTE]
