[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8471511, member: 84112"] there is no uncertainty until there is... yes it is... stats show how 'strong/healthy/smart/charasmatic the monster is and skill prof shows what they are good at. add togather how inately they are stated and how skilled they are and you get a number... most of the time we add a d20 for variable, but I guess you could just say +5. and again and again and again this is right up there with the reverse... if the player tries to intimadate the orc the DM is in control of the orc he doesn't HAVE to call for a roll... but they CAN... the player can the description comes with a game mechanic number hey only part we agree on sure they do. You just don't read them the way others do. the very fact that we have this argument (not me and you but enworld in general) every few years should show that some people read the rules and see it diffrent then you... nobody answered me... since I don't use insperation, how would it effect the orc roll? I thought it was to give advantage to PC rolls, so what am I missing? you could ask. Again I don't use it but I use the lucky feat, I have had players ask "is it worth me throwing a lucky point?"
