For example, lets say you find a statistic that 1 in 12 women were born in the month of April. Accurate enough? Sure. But when you are talking to a single woman then it cannot be true that she (and every other individual woman) was born one twelfth in April and eleven twelfths in other months. It's all or nothing!With your perfectly reasonable example party, it's not relevant about what percentage each has to spot a clue. It's binary for each PC. Either they spot this thing or they don't.Sure, the usual suspects are nearly always the ones to spot things, and it is very rare for the wizard to spot something that the cleric and rogue miss, but all this means is that those people are better at spotting things than the wizard! Nothing has gone wrong!In play, if the party come across a DC 10 clue, they all spot it. If they come across a DC 16 clue, the two Perceptive guys spot it and the two others might. If they come across a DC 20 clue, some might and some might not, but the more Perceptive guys are more likely to spot it.Sounds like it's working fine to me!</blockquote>
