[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8745907, member: 23751"] This is provably false as written. The new rule does not make any such requirement, so it falls to the DMG rules which state that the DM is the one to decide when rolls are appropriate. The old rules currently govern the new one, since the new one does nothing to supersede the one in the DMG. If that's your choice as DM, you can make it. RAW does not make it for you, though. It seems like you are assuming intent, which is a mistake. This is a playtest and you should be playtesting what is written, not what you think they wanted to write. Completely untrue as I have proven multiple times in this thread alone. The DM is fully capable of giving rolls that the PC otherwise could not make. I have done so since 3e when appropriate and will continue to do so. I also gate rolls when appropriate and will continue to do so. The rule is for those times when I do the former. That is meaning. The guy with a 20 strength can, yes. The guy with the 3 strength? Impossible. [/QUOTE]
