The act of rolling the die and seeing the result can spark additional ideas in the resolution even if you decided that the attempt was, in the main, going to be successful. A really good roll and I'll describe a particularly spectacular success - a poor one and I'll describe a lower degree of success, barely scraping by, perhaps even add a complication. The point of either - whether declaring a success without a roll or declaring one regardless of the result of the roll - is using my powers as a GM to adjudicate the attempt and, when the die is rolled, using that die roll to inform the result.</p></blockquote><p></p>
