Poor level 20 fighter. He's the butt of all of our hypothetical-situation jokes. xD Anyways, I like the +5 paragon, +10 epic rule. I also like trained assisters with skill points being able to contribute more. I've yet to reach a conclusion on whether allies can take tens on mundane tasks...

I'm pretty sure the WotC thread I read included fair amounts of CA for both classes. It's just bad mathcraft if it didn't.

I always viewed the bonus as more of the way to represent that the intimidator understands his friends better than an enemy. The key to scaring someone is understanding their nature. This way, you know what scares someone and what doesn't.

Have you considered stressing to the player that Always Chaotic Evil NPCs are risky business when it comes to making deals? Rolls are great and all, but sometimes they're not the sole end-all to determining results. For instance, one attempting to reason with an Orc Chieftain may be forced to...

A level 20 character is a veteran to the mundane tasks a party might encounter. I see no reason why they couldn't contribute to someone's skill check in any situation. Why are automatic successes so "silly"? Are you just so used to having roll a d20 to get something done that you've forgotten...

Well, if Jim the cleric is rolling a knowledge religion check and his bud is assisting him, shouldn't his friend be able to give him more help if he's, say, an Invoker with knowledge of religion himself, rather than a rogue? Or a level 20 Hero vs. a level 1 commoner? My point is, the 1d20 rolled...

I read an extensive thread on OathofEnmity Avengers vs. Brutal Rogues in terms of raw DPR (Damage per round). It showed that the two classes have nearly identical damage outputs over long periods of time in various tested combat situations. I imagined the two classes' "graphs of damage output"...

I'm here to ask the limitations of Skill Cooperation. It says in the PHB "In some situations, you and your allies can work together to use a skill; your allies can help you make a skill check by making a check themselves. Each ally who gets a result of 10 or higher gives you a +2 bonus to...
