[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 8674991, member: 6901101"] Sorry, but I am not backdooring anything. As many tables choose where they go, and sometimes they may choose not to go. Hence, there is no backdoor because of random chance. The same random chance that allows your fighter to roll well and outshine the cute halfling bard. And speaking of rolling... How many rolls do you make for your persuasion of important NPCs? One? Maybe two? Maybe three or four over the course of a campaign? The probability of that cute halfling having a higher outcome than the fighter is higher, but a d20 makes it that a +6 vs a +3 is only better 15% of the time. I just made a fighter that has a +1 charisma and is skilled in persuasion. It was pretty easy to do. I am okay with the bard being better 15% of the time - because they are generally the face of the group! (For the record, I am 10% better than out paladin, 15% better than our druid, and equal to our warlock.) Looking at it like that, it is not the travesty people make it out to be. [/QUOTE]
