[QUOTE="Nightchilde-2, post: 4490520, member: 4109"] Most of the time, I rely on the PCs Passive Perception & Insight scores for such things (or, in 3.x, I assumed they were Taking 10 on Search rolls). Other times, I'll just say "there's nothing to find here." I do have an interesting/funny (to me at least) anecdote though about the single most paranoid player I've ever met. I only gamed with him once. Me: You wake up. Him: I open one eye, what do I see? Me: Uh. Nothing. Him: I open the other eye, what do I see? Me: ...still..nothing. Him: I sit up, does anything happen? Me: You're kidding right? No. Him: I put one foot on the floor... Other Players & Me: NOTHING HAPPENS...get on with it. Later, he had to describe how he cut crosses on each and every bullet he put in his gun....one at a time...in excrutiating detail for each one. Separately. Y'know, just in case I decided that since he didn't describe it, I couldn't say something like "You didn't say you were etching crosses on your 8th round, your spell doesn't work for this shot." He only got to like the third bullet before I was like "Dude, seriously..OH, look at the time. Gotta run." [/QUOTE]
