[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9260454, member: 52734"] I miss the days of having rolls like [I]Stealth[/I] being rolled behind the DM's screen, I think my players would revolt if I tried to enforce that in this day and age. But, it would get rid of the "he rolled a 5, can I now try?" (which comes up for Perception moreso than anything else) I'm fine with the player rolling at the time of declaration/start of the activity for things like Stealth, I can hold the result to compare it against events further down the road. Waiting until a moment of contact on a Stealth check just isn't my style. Also, side note - I wish "History" had been named "Lore" instead - that's a bit more broad, and History could be a subcategory of Lore. Overall I wish there was more teeth to the skill system, with things like Expertise only working for a subcategory of a skill. For example, if a Rogue took Expertise in Acrobatics, they might take it in Acrobatics (Tumbling) or Acrobatics (Parkour). A Wizard might take Expertise in Arcana as Arcana (Spellcasting) or Arcana (Potioncraft). [/QUOTE]
