| Apr 21, 2017 at 8:45 | comment | added | komodosp | Not sure if this is in the 5e rules, but for "knowledge" type skills like this the GM should be making a secret roll (e.g. behind his screen) and telling you the answer. If you don't see anything unusual about the ring, you shouldn't know whether it's because you rolled low or because there is nothing unusual about it. The GM would say "You examine it for x time but can't see anything unusual". You could try again, but IMHO the GM should apply a penalty to the recheck because you may have failed because you don't know what to look for rather than just not noticing it. | |
| Apr 21, 2017 at 7:31 | comment | added | enkryptor | I see the question is closed, but I want to clarify regardless - as a player you are not supposed to choose when and what roll do you make. It's the DM who says "make a X roll". The player can say "I do this", "I try to do that again", neither "I'm making X roll" nor "I want to roll the same skill again". | |

| Apr 20, 2017 at 21:17 | comment | added | Thyzer | The example in the duplicate question is quite different from the one in this question. The linked question's answers seem DM oriented ('how to avoid such situations', 'when should you ask for a roll') and might not help OP in his situation. Also, his example includes the possibility of a disparity between player and character knowledge. | |
