[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 5991967, member: 48965"] What exactly are you addressing here? I didn't comment on what a character with a high score is. In fact you seem to be agreeing with me... low skill= less skilled, high skill = better skilled... which was my point. What exactly are you arguing for or against here, better odds are exactly what I am talking about? Sure it does, with greater skill you are better equiped to deal with adverse connditions... hence the better odds. There are some people skilled enough that even if they sneezed while soldering a component they are able to minimize the effect it has on their work. Who is talking about going off script, the contention is that narating it as odd circumstance does not in any way guarantee the player will not be embarassed and/or will have a second chance to try. I would also contend that (at least by 3rd edition rules) that if your skill isn't high enough to automatically succeed at a DC when taking 10 (since this eliminates the luck factor)... then failure is in part or wholly based upon your skill and not just luck. So no, I don't think your assertion above holds up for all skill rolls. [/QUOTE]
