If you fail, maybe it means you simply can't figure it, and additional time won't help, so there are no further rolls for that character for that task. | |

Duplicate of I failed to open a lock. Now what? | |
| Jun 20, 2020 at 22:40 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | why call for a roll in this case? you have not explained why you are asking for a roll. what are the stakes of success or failure? Explain that and you will get better answers. | |
