Well, my thinking was that this was just an RP element that he could use or ignore at his discretion.<br/><br/>When I'm lied to by a PC I can never decide if I believe them or not and I find that adding some numbers to it helps me decide.  not of course that I'm refusing to make the roll (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=45293), just that I hadn't meant it to be that formal.  An optional extra for if he wanted it, rather than a fully fledged game mechanic.<br/><br/>However, you're the boss, boss.  And an amazing one at that.
