  • As a DM, I’m not asking you to act, I’m not asking you to engage in improvisational theater, I’m asking your approach. I mean, I’m a “fade to black” DM when it comes to spicy roleplay, so I probably wouldn’t for the named situation in this meme, but let’s say it’s somehow relevant beyond the laughs of “horny bard”. Are you being cheesy and trying to get the bartender to laugh? Are you trying to be suave? Are you just socially indicating interest and letting the bartender decide what they think of that? These matter for what kind of reaction will come about from either a success or a failure on the roll, and it’s not my job as a DM to decide for you what approach is best for the situation… determining the approahh ch is the game. You can tell me your approach via ACTING! or just by describing it, but I really need to know what your character is doing.

    But really, don’t worry about your own charisma. You don’t need to be suave or charming if your character is. I just need to know what they’re trying to do, not see you do it.
