All five PCs are rolling. Under the new rule, one PC out of five needs to roll a 20 to succeed, and everyone succeeds on a 20. There’s a 22.6% chance that at least one will do so.What?
Now you have me completely confused. A 22.6% success chance (an awfully precise number) is 17 or better on a D20 rolling high.
Why make them roll at all if their stats have no bearing, just roll a D20 behind the screen and tell them if you get 17 or better.
And let's say that one of them has a +10 to the check— a cleric with a +5 Wis mod, plus a proficiency bonus of +5 at level 16. Everyone else's mods are lower. Under the old rule, that cleric had a 5% chance of success, and no one else had a chance (unless they boosted it with bardic inspiration, etc., if the DM permitted that). Under the new rule, the cleric has the same chance of success as everybody else. Her stats and skills do not matter.
