And that if Rondo climbs up first or jumps across first and throws your character a rope, that's enough to make the task easy even for someone with no ranks, right? No, it's not. Because half-max ranks is so far below max ranks at mid-levels or beyond that it's the difference between a likely success and a likely fail. With the one 13, you'll likely succeed at one task and you can try to work around the other (by using magic or other means). With the two 7s, you'll likely fail at both tasks unless the GM is throwing far-too-easy-for-your-level tasks at you just to cater to your gimped character.</blockquote>
