Re: [DL] Hucksters D20(Fred Jandt??)

[Fred Jandt <fajandt@yahoo.com>]

From what I have read about the Take 10 rule, it is
used to speed up play. The last thing one wants to do
when wranglin' an unwilling manitou is to try to do
things quick and dirty. So unless I am overruled by
the man above (Shane), I would say, yes, they have to
roll every time.

And if you want to allow the players in your campaign
to use Take 10 anyway, I would still make them roll a
d20 to see if they get backlash regardless. This
backlash may not manifest itself right away, but any
huckster who keeps using the Take 10 rule to shoot off
her hexes is making a pile o' nasty enemies pissed
off.

That's my take,

Fred
