If there's ONE gripe I have about your channel. The ONLY POSSIBLE problem that I can see is . . . that I can't binge watch your episodes. Every time I watch one, you inspire me to do more with my D&D world, which pulls me away from watching your stuff. Not much a gripe, really. More of a compliment. ^__^

This is probably one place we have a different approach and philosophy. I prefer to roleplay searches and perception as much as possible. At my table, a player shouldn't say "I want to make a perception check." That's a game mechanic, not an activity. I can just tell the player what the character sees, and the player can react intelligently. For instance, I'd much rather a player say "I'm checking the wall for any discolorations or depressions" or "I'm knocking on the wall to find hollow spaces" than "I'm checking for secret doors." In the first two cases, I probably don't have to make a perception roll, because I've actually decided how this secret door works. I can just tell them what they notice, for the most part. But I'm not a purist. There's still a place for perception checks, in my opinion.

@ronwisegamgee7 жыл бұрын
Often times, what I encounter with Perception is that players will grab the dice, make a Perception roll, and say "what do I see," when I haven't even called for a Perception roll. It's an erroneous assumption that Perception is used to get the most basic details about your surroundings or that it can automatically reveal more information without doing anything on their part if they're in a dark room or something. Another thing I don't like about Perception rolls is that when players roll low and the DM tells them "you don't notice anything unusual" or something to that effect, the player knows that their character didn't get complete information, even if just to confirm that there really is nothing unusual. Same goes for when the DM asks the player what their character's Perception score is and rolls it behind their screen: the player knows something is up. Dungeon World provides a great solution to this issue, IMO, by having the character's actions dictate when a Perception roll is made rather than the player saying "I make a Perception roll." It's like, "What are you doing to warrant a Perception roll? Describe it to me in-game." Furthermore, a successful roll should allow the player to ask one or more questions about what they're investigating, and I like that Dungeon World's approach to this is to ask from a limited list. As an addendum, if a character has pertinent knowledge skills, they should get to ask questions pertaining to their areas of expertise, such as "Is there magical residue around this spot" for someone who has the Arcana skill or "Is this part of some diabolical ritual" for someone with the Religion skill. Last but not least, unless circumstances warrant seeing an area in a new perspective, one Perception roll and that's it. No spamming Perception rolls to get as much information as possible; that's metagamey as hell.

I just joined a D&D group at the local geekstore in town...And I have a stealthy-perceptiony-type roguescoutmofo thing going on... I showed up and asked, "Could I join your game group" and they said "Hell yeah! Of course!" I asked if I could be a rogue because I like the edgy people, so they said "Ya, We need one of those!" So it was all cool: "Yeah! I get to be the sneaky scout!" The guy with the Paladin helped me and he suggested I make a good wisdom score so I could have good perception and I wound up boosting it too. And it was the Out of the Abyss thing which rips off your escape from Underdark jail idea...With a couple of criticals, I was able to steal a key, speak elvish to the disgruntled drow guy who would let us out, and then sneak around and scout where to go next, so I felt like my character was important and that was neat-o (so now I hafta try to make the Warlock guy feel important too)...Unfortunately, none of my perception rolls were good, but I look forward to being a better perceiver in the future!!! :)

The Niels Bohr reference was nice. ^_^ Here’s a scenario for you though: Since perception has proven to be relative in our contemporary society, we’d like to hack the game as a DM (you tell me whether you think this would be feasible or not). The rule is this: Anytime we do perception checks on our players, we do perception checks on their enemies as well. For example, say players are tracking down an enemy that is hiding in a dark cave. We make our players roll perception checks to see if they can successfully track or spot the enemy or not. We also have our players’ enemies roll a perception check (this is done by the DM, and can be used to boost or lessen the standard stats of the characters themselves). If the player rolls a lower perception than the enemy, the DM can give his players limited or false information (NOTE: we do not show our players what the enemy rolled however. This dye roll is hidden since it makes sense that the player would not have access to what their enemies can perceive). So, if a player rolls a 2 and the enemy secretly rolls a 6, I will tell the players that they hear noises coming from the back end of the cave. What I don’t tell the players is that (since the enemy rolled a higher perception), the enemies intentionally made that noise as a distraction so as to either (1) aid in their escape, or (2) set up an ambush. In other words, rather than just setting a standard roll to see whether perception fails or not, perception success rate is determined by how well your party rolls against their opponent (kind of like standard battle scenarios). Perception like this could be a great way to have players work with limited amounts of information (and since the players never can know what their enemies rolled, it keeps them guessing on whether they are getting good information from the DM or not, which, of course, keeps them on their toes and builds suspense). I suppose Werner Heisenberg’s “Uncertainty Principle” would be a better metaphor to use in that situation though. ^_^

It’s kind of expensive, but worth the bang for the buck (very herbal in flavor too). As always, remember to prepare it correctly (4 parts chilled water for every 1 part absinthe so as to produce a louche effect, which clouds the drink and helps to release all those concentrated aromas and flavors).

I use a floating DC and allow the players to use their descriptions of what they are looking for or what they are doing and lower the DC with the better they do. They could even talk it down to an automatic success. If they say they are looking for something reasonable, I put it in the room. Maybe even have them spot it across the room in a difficult place to get to. I hate it when a player simply says they are performing a perception check and rolls a dice. I usually make those DCs a 20 or give them something generic. Likewise, if they climb into a nasty privvy and search it... I make sure I put a magic item in it... lol

Violet Deliriums i think it encourages them to add to the narrative and be more immersed instead of just slingin dice and addin modifiers. I reward their contribution. "Perception check!... I rolled a 11.... What did i see?" is not narrative. How about "i am going to search the book shelf looking for anything that might be of value or importance" shouldnt require a roll. A carefully hidden secret door on the west wall with a DC15 gets lowered when i hear "i am going to search the west wall for secret doors by pushing and tapping on the wall while listening for a sound difference and feeling for and exploring any cracks or seams that might suggest a door."... Hell... You have to reward that... DC5....

I play DM with a hybrid of D&D and descent, using the later's mechanics and pieces to make it easier for me to focus on making a story rather than reading rules forever. My problem is that I am having a difficult time to give the idea that they are facing a mortal danger . Since they have played those monsters they always forget that I change the stats and they go berserk style, leaving everything on their luck, which sometimes works but sometimes not. Make a long story short, how do convince they players who act "hero like" that sometimes they are outleveled? I believe this brings a greater immersion through the connection between the player and the character.

I think much of your problem stems from allowing players to state "I roll a perception check." Characters never make checks, they attempt actions. Once a character attempts an action it's up to the DM to request a check from the player if indicated. If you stopped letting players 'make an xxx check' in place of describing their character's actions I believe a lot of the problems you describe would go away.
