[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8383835, member: 7032025"] And nothing in there restricts the DM to describing only the world and not what happens to the PCs. And because I think that you will need convincing, here is an example: Player: "I walk down the corridor" But the DM knows that there is a trap in the corridor, and the PC has not declared that he was checking for them. Alternatives: [LIST] [*]Passive high enough: "Just before he puts his foot on a flagstone, your character sees that there is a trap, and steps back." [*]Passive not high enough, but dexterity high enough: "Just as you get to the center of the corridor, you feel a flagstone give way, but you manage to catch the edge of the pit." [*]"passive not high enough, and dexterity too low: "You don't see the hidden pit, and you fall in." [/LIST] Of course, there is puppeting in the game, in the last example, the DM will not say: "The pit opens under your feet, do you decide to fall in it ?" [/QUOTE]
