If we were just talking personal philosophy, sure, but if we're debating game design and the actual process, I'm not. Not when it's not just a question of number, but context.I mean, you could take their word for it. And accept it when they point out that 18>6.
It's adding another step to the process.
Rather than the player just going, "I wan to try and treat their wounds, rolling Medicine", we have "I want to try and treat their wounds" "Okay.... um... Wisdom?" "Wisdom... plus Medicine? Like it's already on my sheet? Already set up on DDB to roll with one click?" "Yes. Roll that." "Boy was this easier than me just doing it."
