[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7497824, member: 4937"] Read it again. Read it again. You rolled another 1, and didn't realize it. If you'd read it again you'll find that I offered up "move silently" specifically as an example of something where they character would receive immediate feedback, and therefore it made sense for the player to roll there own dice. I linked "move silently" to things like attack rolls and climbing a wall as something were the player ought to make their own rolls for a character. I then contrasted that with observation skills where when someone fumbles completely they generally don't realize it. I don't know. Can you read? I imagine that you can, but you just failed a low DC reading comprehension test in a thread about how you always have a good sense of whether or not you were succeeding in something. Sure, everyone misreads something from time to time - I'm sure I've done it many times. I've mistyped things all the time as well. We can often read something multiple times and misread it every time. But the point is that you just wildly misread something and didn't notice it. Who is making whose point here? Look, I confess I have a pet peeve. There are a lot of things I have patience with, but the thing you just did is not one of them. It is extremely obvious what the intent of my statement was. For you to go off on me as if I said the opposite of what I clearly said is one of the few things that 'gets my dander up'. If you are going to keep doing it, I'm going to just have to block you because it will drive me up the wall. There are few trolls on EnWorld that I think did it repeatedly and deliberately just because they knew they could get a rise out of me, and I've had to block them just for my own sanity. [/QUOTE]
