Here’s how you play Dungeons & Dragons: you are presented with a situation. You have three options.
- Do nothing
- State an action
- Ask a clarifying question about the situation
Riddle me this, dungeoneers: which one of these is “can I roll an Arcana* check?”
*could be any check, really
hrm a riddle... dungeonmaster can I roll History or something to solve it?
One moment your head is on your shoulders, as it should be. The next, a fountain of blood as you come to grips with your new decapitated lifestyle.
It's 3.
#i realize this is supposed to be a rhetorical question but like.#it IS 3.#If you state a scenario and get “can i roll an x check” it's your turn to ask questions on the gm side: What are you trying to accomplish?#What does it look like? What specifically are you doing?#stuff like that#hope that helps
