It is a good faith question from how I see it. For example, here might be a typical RP moment for us:Scenario one: Our group is in a fight. My half-orc fighter does something incredibly gory to an opponent, and after describing said gore, I tell the DM I am looking at the other opponents drenched in said gore, and then ask if making an intimidation check is possible. If he allows it, I roll. Sometimes, depending on what I actually just did and who we're fighting, I may even have advantage. Scenario two: Our group is talking to the creepy spa caretakers. Our paladin starts questioning their use of decor, thinking it is a little off. Our bard dismisses the whole thing. Our warlock begins to question too. The caretakers describe being one with nature and point to decorations out in the back of the inn. Then my half-orc fighter tries to persuade one of the caretakers to take a walk and show explain to me what they mean. The DM asks me to make a persuasion roll. Scenario three: Our group is speaking with an incredibly scary night hag trying to barter the freedom of three dryads we know she has captured. Our paladin, who just can't let the dryads suffer, starts trying to make a deal. During that time the hag tells us she had "saved" the dryads from the City of Brass, where they would have been a delicacy to the efreet guards. My half-orc warrior begins to weave a tale about how my aunt used to talk of such a place, and that he thinks the hag had been going there illegally. Hence, we might use it against her if she is not careful. The DM asks me to roll a deception check. (I fail miserably by the way.)In each of these, we are not plotting who has the highest number or advantage. We are roleplaying, and sometimes we try things that require the DM to ask for a roll. Outside of carefully plotted plans (and even those go awry), our group roleplays their characters, and then we either: A) ask if we can roll or B) get told to roll. During RP (charisma-based skills) it is much more likely to be B. So are all your RP moments planned out where you always have the best person for the task at hand? I am confused. (Thank you for the clarification.)</blockquote>
