In any case, you are free to make what ever checks you want. I am not going to prompt you into anything I don't have too. Also I only use spot and listen checks for when they are actually needed. Like catching a rogue in the middle of stabby stab, or trying to follow someone in a crowd. You don't need a spot check if a thing is literally right in front of you.<br/><br/>And even if there is going to be a dagger in a spine, I'll roll that for you, since to do otherwise would ruin the surprise. I like to do that in real life games, or just freak out my players by rolling a d20, nodding to myself, and writing something down. Where I am just doing nothing and making them sweat.
