[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8478146, member: 84112"] I am just going to skip all of that... fine, you have a verbal thing that annoys you. got it. You require your players to say things the way you want and have a template for when they start to train them. Okay and I am not comfortable with you telling people how to talk... lucky we don't play in the same circles, but we have spun WAY out of RAW here. and 7 out of 10 times you can most likely infer all of that from any sentence, you don't like to Okay got it. BUt don't pretend you are following some rule I am ignoreing. okay, if a player says "I try the key" and the only key in teh scenero is one that came off the cultest and we are talking about the chest, I don't NEED to hear “I try the key I got off the cultist’s body on the chest,” in fact "Does the key work?" even is enough to understand. Now are there going to be times when the PCs have like 7 keys and we are talking about a locked desk, a chest, and a locked door and they say "Does the key work?" I may need to ask like you would for a clearer statement... but again corner case, not most. no, because everything you guys want clarity on seems so straight forward to me. okay but that doesn't support or not support any argument about the RAW. It is your play style and your preference. yes but within reason. If we all understand what "Does the key work" in the context of the scene, why make them rephrase it? [/QUOTE]
