Just "looking at the tavern" won't ever really tell you anything specific. If you're rolling for perception, you need to be looking for something in particular. EG, if you walk into a room and go "I ROLL FOR PERCEPTION," even if you get 28, you ain't gonna find anything because you weren't looking FOR anything...you were just looking at shit. If, however, you said "I roll perception to look for a secret door." Well then, THEN you might find something.<br/><br/>How often, really, have you found something just by staring REALLY hard at the wall? :P<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Hmm, I get what you're saying... Shit, I realize I'm doing the questioning thing again... BUT, isn't it already to roll just in case, since you don't lose anything by doing it. When I rolled for a 'scan of the room' I wasn't having Shahazadi search for anything specific, but that doesn't mean that nothing can stand out, or grab her attention if her roll happens to be high enough. If not then nothing happens, if there isn't anything worth noticing then nothing happens, but for all we know you GM's might decide that in her cursory glance she can notice that all of the Orcs present seem to have the same insignia on their armor and that it doesn't match the city's crest or something. Not something I would have thought to look for specifically, but it is something that could be explore later, or move the plot in some direction, or what have you.
