I see this sometimes with skills like Deception and Persuasion. For instance when one character is quite clearly having a conversation with a non player character and we determine that Deception is being employed so we call for a check. They fail and the next Player declares they would like to have go at it. Fine, but it's a Group Check now and we have one failure.Sometimes a Player will even jump in and claim they have the better Persuasion skill so they should be rolling the check. That when I ask them to please let the other player have their time in the limelight. Otherwise our Chimera wanders through the adventure with all the best skills. I like a blended group check for these types of situations, but I agree, a stuck door should not be an impediment if time is not a pressure.Maybe some group checks can be blended whereas others are obligate. For instance getting the party around to lift a heavy stone would be an obligate group check that they all roll simultaneously.</blockquote>
