Editing Samsara:Checks (section)

===Variation: Who Interprets the Roll?===
Rather than always having the GM interpret every roll, this function might be opened up to the players.  One way to do this is to let the player narrate the results of a successful roll and the GM interpret the receiving of checks.  The player then gets to describe how cool he is when he comes out on top.

Alternately, and more interestingly, the GM could narrate the results of a successful player roll and let the player narrate the results of receiving checks.  What?  Yes, right.  The idea is that the player might come up with interesting ways in which his own character is getting shafted.  He has to accept the mechanical results of the checks, but might have some fun describing how they occur.  This helps alleviate the sense of having “lost” on a bad roll and keeps the player connected to the story.
