MODERATORS
my hot take is that steal checks should be a timing/rhythm challenge in 90% of video games where they exist and any rolls regarding them should pertain to how tight the timing is
I think it depends on the game a lot. If the game has no other mechanics like that, it really shouldn't. If I'm just trying to relax with an oldschool style RPG, I don't want to have to suddenly focus on a timing minigame just for a single ability. Something like Lost Odyssey's ring system could be really good for this though, just holding down a button and then releasing it at the right time.
