The one most suited for this confrontation is the group´s fighter, the one least equipped for it is the group´s mage. If the mage now chooses to confront the ogre in melee, he may well do so...and will most likely end up dead --> bad endSocial situation: a low-level party is interviewed by a local noble who wants them to do a small quest for him. The one best suited is the group´s bard, the least is the fighter with 0 ranks in Diplomacy. Now the fighter steps forward, roughly addressing the noble with the wrong title and asking what comes out of it for him and his friends...and will most likely be escorted out the backdoor, together with his friends --> bad endThe point is that a character who is not well equipped to handle a situation is not "forced" to step back...but he has to live with the results of his failing skill in the respective situation.</blockquote>
