[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8236928, member: 23751"] Sometimes it's that for sure. Usually, though, the player is about to have the PC do something that would result in something bad happening to the PC, but which the player might not have thought about. If the PC has a 7 wisdom, I probably won't say anything. The PC is very unwise. If the PC has an 18 wisdom, I probably won't have the check be made. Nobody at my table has anything approaching an 18. If the PC is anywhere from 10-16, I'll give the player a roll and then just inform the player of the likely result. Sometimes the player will change his mind. Other times he will go forward. If he chooses to go forward, off we go. I'm not trying to veto anything. I'm just giving the player information that the PC would have in that situation. Edit: If the problem was mine and I didn't describe it well enough, I would also give the information for free. No roll, no matter what the stat of the PC. I'm not going let a negative effect just happen when it's my fault for poorly describing something. If after I correct my error the player still want to proceed, then we will proceed. It's still not a veto. [/QUOTE]
