i think its funnier when they say "sure" when there is nothing to see. and the like

2018-08-17 20:48:12 UTC  

makes them think they ahve a chance to find something

2018-08-17 20:48:12 UTC  

Well, yeah

2018-08-17 20:48:16 UTC  

Yeah, some people just try and make dumb skill checks all the time, but sometimes a player will want to make a check that makes sense and the DM just didn't think of it.

"You notice your right shoelace is longer than your left shoelace" - and if its a low roll "while running into a telephone poll, take 1 damage" πŸ˜‰

2018-08-17 20:49:34 UTC  

i love low perception checks

2018-08-17 20:49:43 UTC  

always entertaining

2018-08-17 20:49:44 UTC  

I've DM'd a fair bit and some players really don't understand and it's fucking annoying, but some players do get how things work, and it's not a hard case of "players should NEVER in any circumstance ask to roll" like some people say

2018-08-17 20:49:54 UTC  

I have a question ... if the abcdefghi etc community-promotes diversity then why havent they boy cotter fashion companies that only sell men and womens cloths ? Is it because they recognize two genders ?

2018-08-17 20:50:18 UTC  

"a bee has distracted you, be dead last in initiative rolls for the next 5 minutes"

2018-08-17 20:51:01 UTC  

I find lolrandumb results for skill checks as annoying as "I roll perception"

2018-08-17 20:52:06 UTC  

Depends on the game. Sometimes it's fun for players to just go with the flow and let the GM and the rolls produce ridiculous results. I think it gets old fast though

2018-08-17 20:54:51 UTC  

i think truly ridiculous results are for crits

2018-08-17 20:55:08 UTC  

Which admitedly in some systems are way to common

2018-08-17 20:55:22 UTC  

"haha you rolled a 1 so you stab ur BUTT"

2018-08-17 20:56:42 UTC  

Crits don't work the way people use crits

2018-08-17 20:56:58 UTC  

Like almost everyone just uses a crit as an auto success

2018-08-17 20:57:26 UTC  

I grew up on Das Schwarze Auge. A skill check there consisted of 3 rolls on attributes and in total you could roll X amount above the attributes (or had to roll X amount in total below them) based on your skill + modifiers. D20. as soon as you have TWO ones or twenties at least you got to go into crit teritory.

2018-08-17 20:57:28 UTC  

I rolled a 20 so I should be able to jump over a house this DM sucks

2018-08-17 20:58:10 UTC  

I like the Shadowrun system of crits wherein as you get better crits become harder, which honestly makes sense

2018-08-17 20:58:25 UTC  

Imagine you had a 1/20 chance to do anything you tried successfully. There's good reason why skill checks can't crit

2018-08-17 20:58:49 UTC  

Your initial efforts are kinda all over the place, with both critical hits and failures being fairly probable. As you get better your success becomes consistent and the variance goes away

2018-08-17 20:59:15 UTC  

I like how pokemon tabletop adventures handled skill checks. You roll a d6 for each skill point you have in an attribute. So getting a skill point is a big deal

2018-08-17 20:59:27 UTC  

In my group, crits are only a minor damage bonus. That’s due to the fact that we utilize a mutilation system though.

2018-08-17 20:59:32 UTC  

That's also the SR system

2018-08-17 20:59:54 UTC  

You just end up stacking a lot of points though, to the point where you roll like 14d6 for a check

2018-08-17 21:00:09 UTC  

@Rabbi Shekels does the LGBT community promote fixed binaries? πŸ€”

2018-08-17 21:00:27 UTC  

It seems so

2018-08-17 21:00:33 UTC  

World of Darkness is also dicepooled like that, but with a lower cap

2018-08-17 21:00:37 UTC  

Nut shure dough

2018-08-17 21:00:37 UTC  

I think in PTA it went up to 6 skill points

2018-08-17 21:00:42 UTC  

Just a thought

2018-08-17 21:00:42 UTC  

Thats just feminism

2018-08-17 21:01:00 UTC  

Feminists frankly are just the current enforcers of gender roles

2018-08-17 21:01:12 UTC  

We all know they support whichever way of thinking best suits them in according to situation.

2018-08-17 21:01:20 UTC  

You know what the best crit system is... exploding die πŸ˜‰

2018-08-17 21:01:34 UTC  

SR is like 6 or 7 points (depending on traits) for a skill + anywhere between like 4 and 10 points from stats+etc

2018-08-17 21:01:49 UTC  

Exploding dice is fun

2018-08-17 21:01:58 UTC  

Why not both? OG Deadlands was Dice Pools, raised die types and exploding crits

2018-08-17 21:02:23 UTC  

So one guy is rolling 6d4 and another is rolling 4d8

2018-08-17 21:03:55 UTC  

And suddenly a stick of dynamite goes off near by and you're trying to soak multiple d20s in wounds
