[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 7553241, member: 50987"] Yep. I mean, sure, they are always going to be frustrated with bad rolls. And it took a bit of time to get accustomed to the change. But for the most part, I think everyone's happy with it. The first was when the wizard failed an Arcana check...the bard made the same check but passed, even though she has a lower bonus to the roll (it was hilarious). The second example was when the rogue tried to disarm a trap with his thieves' tools and failed, so the monk tried jamming the mechanism with dirt and succeeded. They were just examples of where I allowed a retry, so long as it was done differently. Again, I never said you should only be allowed to roll once. The rogue could have been the one to say "hmm, my thieves' tools aren't working...let me try jamming the mechanism with dirt instead." Or whatever. As long as the player can tell me what they are doing differently, I'll usually allow a second (or even third, or fourth) attempt. [/QUOTE]
