[QUOTE="tomBitonti, post: 7394679, member: 13107"] I'm still working my way through this example. Let's say the player received a prophecy earlier that they would find a boon in an unexpected place, which was provided to the character as an option to add to the story in the future to avoid an obstacle, and the player chose to use that boon to create the secret door. Or, the sense of it could be more that the player can declare that there is a secret door, but the GM still has a determination of how usable the door is: There could be locks, or a guardian, or fallen rocks to clear. Then, the player is really declaring that they are interested in escaping a foe (rather than negotiating with them, or fighting them), with the means being a secret escape of some sort, and the GM adjusts the tension by considering how the player manages to overcome challenges introduced along with the secret escape route. Thx! TomB [/QUOTE]
