[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 9116334, member: 7025282"] I use insight if I really want to drop a vague hint or if the player is suspicious, rewarding their deduction. I have had the ostensibly “good Mentor” be anything but. And if a player puts some inconsistency together I like to use an insight roll as a reward. They might get some additional information because they have been suspicious. Someone suspicious does study the target more closely. I think that is reasonable. My pal him I adore sometimes says “you feel X” etc. and at times it veers into telling me what my character thinks. I am good with you have a sense of unease or something vague but don’t like exposition about how my character feels in general. This is more art than science. The only way to have friends and fellow players is some level of grace. I had so much damn fun this weekend with a game I am sure some posters here would pick apart. I am just wanting to get closer to ideal as a DM but am fine ignoring the bumps on the road along the way. Otherwise years of playing would have been wasted instead of enjoyed… [/QUOTE]
