This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Unopposed Rolls

Quote from: Skywalker;594772That's not how MHR operates though, assuming that is what you are referring to with your later reference. When not opposed by an NPC, the GM has a call to make. Does he have the PC roll against the Doom Pool or simply adjudicate success/failure based on the PCs abilities and the task at hand.

He chooses the later when the result of the task is a given, taking into account all the circumstances. Pretty much the same as Take 10/20 exactly. The only real differences in MHR are that there is no hard line where this happens (it relies on the GM's judgement) and you never roll against a static number.

For the record, I wasn't referring specifically to MHR in that statement.
