Would you allow the PCs that failed to be part of the group check? I'm thinking yes since he may have failed on his own, but can add something as part of the group. I would still count it as a failure. Not sure if I would group check after one or two people try.
Not that I'm aware of. We have a local convention in New England next month and several members go, but its not like we wear t-shirts with our name and avatar on them.
In practice, the PC with the highest STR already tried to open the door, maybe using Athletics so the door should be pretty hard to open if he failed. Would it be easier to raise the DC check for each person afterwards. Would this offset the math of more people eventually rolling something...
