[QUOTE="Vaalingrade, post: 8723420, member: 82524"] Really though? The only games where I didn't see 'notice stuff' as a thing that came up often was supers games where the deal was 'notice unusual stuff' instead. Anything that requires investigation or environmental awareness has always tended, in my experience, to have a Notice Things button that you could buy up, tune or get special abilities tagged onto. And believe me, my favorite systems make DMs WAY more sad than just players rolling to notice. For example: "What do I get from my Metal Sense." "There's nothing magnetic here." "Oh, I don't think you understand. I don't have metal detector metal sense, I have Metal Sense. Where here is primarily composed of an element that readily forms covalent bonds. Basically the highlighted part fo this helpful Periodic Table I've bought." "I hate you." Another player: "Should... I not ask what my ability to sense the entire electromagnetic spectrum gives me?" Someone else "Are there any cats within five miles and how fluffy are they?" ~beat~ "What? I had three spare points..." [/QUOTE]
