[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 5959642, member: 386"] Good point! That is precisely what we did back when I first started to play, in order to deliver on some of the promises of the game - specifically the intro in B/X. That's a good example. I prefer DM-side mechanics that work that way because it keeps me "honest": given the authority granted to the DM, it's easy for me to unconsciously force play towards the way I imagined the situation playing out when I created it. Reaction Rolls are one way that helps me act as "impartial arbiter", yet still allows for a wide range of creative input. Those types of mechanics act to relieve the responsibility I have and make the game easier to run for me. And now that I think about it, maybe Wandering Monster checks + Reaction Rolls are not Fortune at the Beginning. I'm not really sure what that would look like - roll dice before you decide what you are rolling dice for? So probably FitM. Anyway, it's not a big deal. [/QUOTE]
