Oh, hey. I'm not the one making the argument. That's @Maxperson who is insisting that the die roll ONLY represents skill. He just...

Yes, but, I can have a -1 and still succeed. What skill did I have? How did I succeed when I had no training, no innate capability or...

I agree. For determining the results? Yeah, it really doesn't matter. You have X% chance of success in either system. But, how those...

That's the point. No they don't. In sim leaning games, the dice generate information about how a task succeeded or failed. Again...

The probabilities might be the same. Heck, I'll take your word for it. But what those things represent is not. A DC 15 represents the...

I don't have the 5.5e PHB. The 5e PHB rules are just as applicable thanks to backwards compatibility and the option to choose which...

Nope. Reread you 2024 PHB again. On page 10 it clearly states only roll when narratively interesting.

You're missing the point though. It's not that the answer must be definitive. It simply has to be informed by the mechanics. Sure, it...

The rules do not make this distinction. There is not supposed to be a way to tell which is first or second. Now, adding that in, sure...

Agreed. Not every one does. But at least one does. It has to provide any amount of explanation. Even the tiniest sliver is fine...

Where in that definition does it say ANYTHING about the process? It only talks about resolutions. I totally agree D&D gives you the...
