The rogue tried to pick the lock. He rolled a three, so he flubbed it.The fighter tried to break it down with his maul. He rolled a two and didn't even leave a dent in the wood.So, I was next. I was a bard that had no spell slots and no skills or class features that applied to the immediate situation. I did, however, have expertise in persuasion. So, like any individual of sound mind and powerful intellect, I boldly declared that my character stepped up to the door, and proceeded to give a titillating soliloquy to coax the door open that left the other players red-faced and speechless. The DM called for a roll - natural 20.The DM spent a minute quietly flipping through his books, and the resultant silence was deafening. As for us, we looked at one another in bewilderment. None of us expected this to work, but... was this really happening? He went on to describe how the wood groaned and shifted imperceptibly, though offered no further details.It was only after a minute of waiting that we realized that nothing happened.My character spent the rest of that campaign known as "the crazy lady that flirts with doors."</blockquote>
