You can always try your character skills to falsify information (check its veracity) if they are appropriate to the information. Or you can just try what you, the player, think is the smart move. I don't care why - it's based on what is in the monster manual, it works in Skyrim, that's what worked back in '97 in my 3rd edition game, whatever. I just make no promises it will work out.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-28155015663647414172013-04-12T19:15:42.466-04:002013-04-12T19:15:42.466-04:00I love when they butt in with something wrong and ...I love when they butt in with something wrong and they all just let it rest at that.

Do you do anything specific when a player has his character react based on what he himself knows from reading the monster manuals?Jason Packerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240705069654358715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-72045812291218716412013-04-12T08:51:45.425-04:002013-04-12T08:51:45.425-04:00My favorite is when a player asks a question on so...My favorite is when a player asks a question on something like this... and then before the referee can answer, another player buts in what what is effectively a ruling.<br /><br />Of course, players tend to be of the "always with you what *cannot* be done" mindset, so in my games... the buttinski player's conception is always harsher than whatever I might have decided.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
