[QUOTE="Berandor, post: 1433819, member: 225"] You know, I actually wrote that I didn't mean it harshly, because I don't. I am simply posing a direct question. I didn't put an emoticon at the end of the sentence because I didn't mean it tongue-in-cheek, either. I'd just like to know whether you roll dice during predetermined combat encounters, and if so, what degree of control do the dice have on the already determined outcome, and if the degree of control is not that much or even nothing, why do you still roll? I am really trying to understand. And a nice way to end the sentence could have been: "... then try to phrase it differently." "... then we have different understandings of harsh." "... then perhaps I misread your statement." "... how about a smile, dumbass?" "... you suck more at the English language than Arnie does." Or something. I don't know. Edit: Sorry, I somehow missed a big part of your answer. See, I misunderstood you saying you'd tell them whether they'd "win" an encounter that if they're trying to save a prisoner, then they'd succeed in saving the prisoner, because that, to me, would be the description of winning that encounter. Obviously, you only tell your players whether they'd be likely to die in a combat, not whether they're likely to succeed with additional goals they might have during an encounter. That is a genuine misunderstanding. And it was nearly another one, before I edited this post :) LGodamus: Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
