Does Assurance literally forgo a roll and thus prevent effects that require a roll?

Question

Here's what Assurance has to say:

Even in the worst circumstances, you can perform basic tasks. Choose a skill you’re trained in. You can forgo rolling a skill check for that skill to instead receive a result of 10 + your proficiency bonus (do not apply any other bonuses, penalties, or modifiers).

If Assurance literally forgoes a roll, does this mean effects that are based on a roll result do not work with Assurance?

At first glance, I assumed Assurance simply replaces your roll result with 10 + your proficiency bonus. You don't roll but have a roll result nonetheless to determine success. For example, I was always under the impression that 'rolling a success' was equivalent to 'get a success' or 'succeeding at a check.' Now I'm wondering if there's actually a difference and the omission of the word 'roll' could be significant in some effects.

Most effects mention a roll or rolling like Assured Identification:

You rarely misidentify an item. When using Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion checks to Identify Magic, if you roll a critical failure, you get a failure instead. If you would misidentify a cursed item because you roll a success but not a critical success, you simply can't identify it instead.

Some do not mention rolls at all like Dubious Knowledge:

You're a treasure trove of information, but not all of it comes from reputable sources. When you fail (but don't critically fail) a Recall Knowledge check using any skill, you learn a bit of true knowledge and a bit of erroneous knowledge, but you don't have any way to differentiate which is which.

Answer 1

Forgo isn't the best word choice, Assurance works as rolling

The clear intent of Assurance is that you no longer have to actually roll a die, but the results should be adjudicated as though you had. Anything that references "rolling a success" or similar is functionally the same as "getting a success" and Assurance affects either.

Normally I would take words at their face value, but we have to remember that Paizo has a number of writers and has adopted a stance that things don't have to be written exactly the same to mean the same thing (vis-à-vis "rolling" vs "getting"). And we know that Assurance is still a type of roll because it's a Fortune effect.

A fortune effect beneficially alters how you roll your dice. You can never have more than one fortune effect alter a single roll. If multiple fortune effects would apply, you have to pick which to use. If a fortune effect and a misfortune effect would apply to the same roll, the two cancel each other out, and you roll normally.

A fun side effect of this is that Assurance can be negated with a Misfortune effect and vice versa; if you have a Misfortune effect on you, you can use Assurance to roll normally.

Because Assurance is still a type of roll (even if there is no physical/digital rolling of a die), it qualifies for any text referencing rolling a [result] (assuming 10+proficiency is enough to succeed).
