[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8551683, member: 6987520"] So, an interesting happened in our game today. As DM, normally if the entire party is trying to stealth I have every one roll for their PCs and use the lowest roll vs. the passive perceptions (or rolls if paying attention). Of course, someone usually rolls low, so it makes it really hard for the group to stealth. Today I took a different approach, perhaps something overlooked or never really thought applicable to stealth... [I]working together[/I] (group checks). So, if half the group makes the check vs. the passive perceptions, the whole group succeeds. This allows even the fighter in heavy armor to make it because the more proficient character help them and show them what to do, etc. I've never done it this way before, I honestly it worked well and I liked it, so I'll probably apply it to stealth and other skills more often in the future. Well, it was really the default in many ways, the specialist not being introduced until 2E, when school specialists got an extra spell slot of each spell level IIRC. I don't see 5E doing it at all, so I am not sure how you think [I]5E does it the right way[/I]? Having never played 4E, I can't say. [/QUOTE]
