Why, yes! You would be able to roll for it in one of my games!
Speaking of… I’m looking to run a oneshot this weekend. A quick 3-4 hour adventure. I’ve run it before and everythings prepared, just gotta find the players for it! So if you’re available to start a session between 5-8PM EST on Saturday or 1-8PM EST on Sunday, then check out my thread below!
My old DM: Eloberate how your engineering character would build a radio. Me: idk but the roll you asked me to was 20 and my character has knowledge sooo? DM: Well you try to but you fail due to the lack of a plan.
Yeah I don’t like having him as a DM. Especially if he had knowledge about these things like first aid. No I didn’t know how you suture someone exactly by my character is a fucking proffesional doctor.
It was also really fun if he then let some npc do it flawlessly immediately afterwards, really didn’t feel like you could accomplish anything in his world.
Luckily I have stopped playing with him and found others.
Wild that someone would want to run a TTRPG when they clearly don’t understand roleplaying.
Yeah, that sucks. I do the “elaborate” thing as well, but that’s mostly because i want the player to have a chance to roleplay and give creative input. If they’re having trouble coming up with something i’ll just try to fill in the gaps.
That or i’m deciding if what they’re asking is even possible, in which case they shouldn’t roll until after i make the call. ( In general you shouldn’t roll unless prompted by your GM)
