[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7598725, member: 996"] Yeah, we've been there, yes, it's a fair way of implementing it to reduce one kind of DM headache (arguably in exchange for another). Nope, still just something to hold the falafels. And, y'know, it just doesn't fit with the rest of the game, for me (greybeard that I am). It's like a hummingbird got in the archaeopteryx display. Like a Sponge Bob episode being shown on Shark Week. You are on record saying players should try to avoid making checks as much as possible, yes? (I hope I'm not on record as disagreeing.) The point "gaming the DM" accusations try to make sound bad is that, under DM Empowerment - or anytime the DM is doing all the heavy lifting - players obviously have to put a lot of faith in the DM. (Other times, it's just less obvious.) [/QUOTE]
