[QUOTE="tensen, post: 1377297, member: 3022"] If you want to go all game mechanics on the DM.. you might realize that if the rogue has the ability to even make any of the slightly high DCs you are talking about... it is actually highly unlikely that a Paladin will have the skill to spot it. And with the paladin's initial roll of 1, a DM could quite reasonable either say 1... the Paladin is distracted on all further spot attempts -5 penalty. Or else they saw the Rogue doing the action but it never quite clicked in there head. I mean, normally people see things that are unbelievable and come up with a reasonable answer to pass off the action. Seeing a Rogue trying to unbuckle your armor while you are there wearing it might be one of those unbelievable circumstances... Perhaps the Paladin thought of it in a manner where they thought they were just having a day dream.... and promptly shrugged off the view thinking nothing of it, until someone pointed out they weren't wearing pants... It apparently is a fun situation and the way the GM is happy to play their game. Which is a good thing. It is playful and apparently not that annoying. I've played in campaigns where pranks like that got other party members killed.
