[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9258587, member: 6796661"] Does it? Or do most DMs call for more checks than needed? Most of the time I don't see why one would be rolling for "ordinary" tasks in 5e. But, what is "ordinary" is pretty subjective. I'm glad that 5e left a lot of room for DM judgement on when a roll is required. I probably call for rolls more often than is really needed. Have the dice decide things and seeing where it takes the story is a big part of the fun for me. But I still frequently don't call for rolls where I see a lot of DMs call for it. Is your complaint based on you being a DM or a player? If the former, it is in your power not to call for rolls for what you consider an "ordinary" task for which there should be a low chance of failure for competent PCs. If you are a player, this seems more like a difference in expectations between you and your DM. [/QUOTE]
