*Roll Perform (Ramble)* Snoteye: Perform (Ramble): 20 + mod = 31
Just yesterday I was involved in a conversation where a Knowledge (History) check became relevant. I rolled a natural 20 on the Lore check (as we all know, Lore is the equivalent of the PnP Knowledge checks) and went into further detail (Note, the final result surpassed the highest official DC set for the subject in question). Now, this has since got me thinking: what if I end up in that exact conversation again?
Granted, if all - or at least the majority - of those that witnessed my previous roll were present, I could probably allow myself not to roll again. But what if none of those involved yesterday were present?
Personally, I'd roll again, hoping for a semi-decent result. The thing is, I could roll so badly I wouldn't qualify for some of the knowledge I've already used. If this should be the case; keeping in mind this has been a part of your upbringing, how would you deal with this (very) sudden - and temporary - case of amnesia, along with the fact that, if the right person (or wrong, judging by the situation) shows up and asks you about something regarding the conversation you previously had with her (for example, in this instance, I used the phrase "to keep it simple:..." at some point, hinting that I, myself, would know a fair bit more about the case), you should be able to answer her regardless of the outcome of the 2nd roll?
