[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 7161471"] I would inform him it doesn't matter. I always assume the [I]character[/I] does the smartest thing they can and the die roll + modifiers is the outcome of their attempts to do those things. Short of preparing some kind of breathing/filter apparatus beforehand, nothing done "in the moment" will change the rolls. So yes, I agree with you that anything "special" to modify your roll you need to state as such beforehand and I (the DM) will rule if it is event possible. This is certainly a good case of "If you didn't say it, you didn't do it." If they had no reasonable expectation of someone climbing up after them, I have no idea why they would pull it up except out of paranoia or something. [B][/B] I assume [I]characters[/I] do the most obvious thing in any given situation. Not necessarily the smartest or the most defensive or the most logical thing, just the most obvious thing in the most convenient way. Anything else the [I]player[/I] will need to state they are doing. I think your rulings are fine. [/QUOTE]
