[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6934449, member: 15700"] I disagree, because of two reasons. 1. I don't think I've ever seen it happen when only the character with the highest ability score is the only one to make checks against that ability score. The game is more than just combat, and I have yet to see where only the PC with the highest INT makes all of the INT related checks, and 2. That's not how people work, and nor should it be expected to be that way. Saying only the person with the highest score in an ability is like saying only the player with the highest FT% take all the free throws. For one, circumstances don't always allow that to happen. secondly, the person with the highest FG% isn't the only one taking all the shots or you'd have a lot of pissed off players on the team. The game is not about mix maxing in order to succeed. The great thing about D&D is that there are MANY ways to resolve a problem, and not all of them are through optimized combat. [/QUOTE]
