Hehe. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>This is an usual assumption, but you know what they say about assuming, right >:)?<br/><br/>Let me state this crystal clear. It applies whenever I am GMing, whether tabletop, on Skype, or PbP.<br/>When I GM, the rolls stand as they are. If I think it's too easy to merit a roll, you don't have to roll, just describe it. If I don't believe it's possible no matter what, you don't get to roll, at all.<br/>And if I call for a roll, you would be able to see the result, as depicted in the Success table, will stand no matter what. The plot will adapt to your actions, not the other way around!<br/>I also don't use a GM screen, as I think it's actually a poor idea both for the immersion, and for the group dynamics. You can see my rolls in the diceroller, and I can see yours. They will be interpreted according to the rules, as written or as modified. You will be notified about house-rules the moment I decide to implement them, though.<br/>I was even thinking of starting The Oath of Thufir Hawat, similar to the Oath of Drake, but for GMs ;D.<br/><br/>Of course, the following only applies to me, and GMs who agree with me explicitly. MadPanda is usually on the same wavelength with me, but he might have a bit different ideas, or he might have the same ideas. We'll see when it's his turn to GM the game.<br/><br/>So, in a way, these two PCs are a<strong>huge</strong>exception to the usual transparent rolls. I'm just too lazy to roll with a diceroller when I have to both roll and interpret the results. The dice are closer.<br/>More importantly, I hope you believe me that I did roll for them and these were the results. The funny part is, in this battle I rolled the lowest for my own PCs :D!
