This 1 hour non-concentration deal may only be +1 (really do you think the couple pts will be big)  but thats gonna get used a lot more often with this no drawbacks version. Also, what does "utilizing a skill" mean? Do they have to be proficient in something to use it? No divine guidance to pick a lock, disable a trap (non-skill listed dex checks) - communicate without words, appraise a gem, recall knowledge about anything not specific to a skill under int (non-skill int checks) - find the best guy for rumors or blend into crowd for topics (cha unskilled checks) etc etc.Has there been a real problem with the non-proficient checks getting +1-4?Really, the rules made ability checks so broad so as to not make a huge list of skills necessary and thats why try to focus over much on which bits of skill vs not skill on ability checks goes bad. I mean is the int check to recall the drawing you saw upstairs in detail (not history obviously) gonna be guidance proof unless but the one to recall the arcane runes (arcana) guidance friendly? Really? Thats the game you want to tell stories about?</blockquote>
