Plus, I give the PCs the freedom to interpret the effect.For example, the Intimidating NPC might demand of the Pc to hand over the MacGuffin, and succeeds. I describe the intimidation and tell the player that his character thinks it's best to follow suit. And whatever the PC does, the net result must be that he relinquishes the item.But he might throw it over (in the hops of her dropping it or her guard), or he might lay it on the floor and step back, or he might hand it over (and try something sneaky), or he might throw the item across the room into a corner to get away.However (!), the NPCs are allowed to do the same. If they can screw you over, they'll likely try to.</blockquote>
