[QUOTE="Staccat0, post: 7158698, member: 6695548"] I always assume players recover arrows and rope and stuff I don't want to listen to them talk about. I also let them "have" actions that are common sense if only becuase it's not worth it to have a whole discussion that ends with the game becoming more tedious and with me taking agency from the PC. Stuff that is borderline common sense, or maybe the product of genuine forgetfulness? In a previous thread I suggested using an INT save for this. Since then I have been doing that and the players like it, because it still feels like RP if they fail. "My character woulda locked that door." "Would they have? You didn't say they did." "It just seems like common sense. I assume she always locks doors. She is cautious." "Maybe she would have, but let's roll an INT Save to see if it slipped her mind" *rolls poorly* "Ah crap! I was so busy griping at Skeeter for killing that hostage I musta forgot!" [/QUOTE]
