If there was a pit trap he needed to jump over (no option), and you aided, then everyone would need to make an athletics check to jump the pit. If there is an alternative, he probably would just take it.  I'm also not sure that example matches the intent of Group Checks in DMG. That said, I like where you are going with this. Find a better scenario to use athletics while still meeting the purpose of this challenge (i.e., track the kobolds while avoiding traps/ambush). Then give me a few lines in character to how you (or another PC) will assist Stanng in his Athletics (or another skill), and I'll give a GM bonus of +2, no group roll required. I like the creativity, just not the pit jump example (I can even see where if you flushed it out more, jumping would make sense to assist with, just not over a pit trap. The tree one.. might be able to roll play that).[/sblock]</blockquote>
