TTRPG GMs and Players. How would you feel about the GM auto rolling the player's skill checks. Where players only speak about what they want to do, and you make hidden rolls, and narrate the results?

What are you hoping to accomplish by doing this?

A friend of mine wanted to do hidden rolls where they get surprised by the actions of an NPC, if they tried charming or intimidating them. But that involves me knowing Thier stats and whether they succeed or not

Ah so the players want certain rolls to be hidden so they dont know if the NPCs buy it or not Personally I don't want that but if you players want it sure. Rolling hidden for things that you can see the effect of immediately on the other hand seems pointless.
