[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7831577, member: 23751"] I don't agree with that. The powers, feats, etc. that deal with rolling an ability checks don't require that the PC know when the check happens. Let's take lucky. The following is what the PC knows. "You have inexplicable luck that seems to kick in at just the right moment." The mechanics of it are player knowledge. The player is the one choosing when to use those luck points and the PC is seeing that inexplicable luck kicks in at the right moment. I mean, if the PC were the one doing the choosing, it would hardly be "inexplicable" would it? ;) This is pretty par for the course. If it's something like luck, the player is doing the choosing and the PC is just seeing the results. If it's something like guidance, the PC is just saying that he's using the spell or ability to help with the task, not the roll. [/QUOTE]
