[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 2111775, member: 12332"] Knowledge (Tech) for me, Profession (if they're a plumber and you're playing Mario Bros. D20). I'd also go with an Int. check or, my favorite check, the Charisma check. My players get used to alot of straight ability checks. Intuition: Wisdom Check (great for investigative games) Luck: Charisma Check (get alot of mileage out of this one) Most other things are covered by skills. I'd almost make these two a save-sort of progression ... I don't think new skills would work, and I don't like a flat level bonus. I've been giving people 1/2 their level as an additional bonus on those checks. I use the Luck check for odd On Stage Objects and the like. "Is there a wrench I could use in this tool box?", "Did the trucker leave his keys in the visor?", stuff like that. "I turn a few random valves and pull some levers, that help?" Would fall under the Luck check, I think. Intuiting that there's probably an instruction sheet glued on or next to or on the wall behind something would be my Wisdom check, either letting them do it without a further check or giving a +2 Circumstance bonus on a flat Int/Know. check to turn the pumps on. --fje [/QUOTE]
