Players should focus on describing the actions that they want to perform. In the scenario you described above, I think that after the player said everything they wanted to do, then the DM might say, "Well, let's see if you found anything! Roll a search check." <br /><br />In my games, it usually plays out with the players describing their actions and the DM ruling that a check will be necessary to determine the outcome of the described action. <br /><br />Like with bluffing, first you say the lie and only if the DM sees through it do you have to make a check. ;)Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14866552711864419585noreply@blogger.com
