I never read it, just played through it, so I could very well be wrong. Ignore me.
What do people think about having failed Aid Another subtract 1 from the end roll.
I mean. Currently there is no down side to Aiding at all...
I don't think it is really a big deal. Past a certain point, you can't fail an aid-another check anyways. Might be significant at lower lvs, but this really depends on the party makeup. If they consist of PCs who are each allocated a list of skills to max out (and the rest dump accordingly), then it may be useful.
Yes, but that situation ("no need to roll") will only be available for someone that is untrained and does not have a good modifier until 18th level. A trained person will get that, at the latest, at 10th level, which is still a significant level and not necessarily low level. For those that have a good modifier and are trained then the need is less but that should not be the determinant.
