In the table-top RPG, it was typical to go through this...

GM: you enter the tavern
Player 1: I want to make a observance check to see who looks dangerous or rowdy
Player 2: Oh no, not this again. Every time we go to a tavern you start this.
GM: you roll a successful check. You notice 3 scruffy looking guys at the far end of the bar staring at your party. The one with the broken nose gives a little smirk.
Player 1: BAR FIGHT!!!!
Player 2: DAMN IT!!!!
