The bad
1) Using character level for aid another. I overall like the intent, but I really dislike linking to character level. Why not link to...oh I don't know...the DC! So the more difficult the skill, the harder it is to aid.
My thought was it should be tied to the level of the person you are trying to aid. The more competent they are at a given task, the harder it becomes for you to offer them useful assistance.
Granted, in most cases of one PC aiding another PC, they will be the same level anyway, but it makes more sense to me this way.
