[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 4668535, member: 35788"] Oh, sorry. I thought that was where your problem was. As I'll say in a bit, I don't have an issue with the level of someone's training so long as they are trained. Then this is where we differ. I think anyone - no matter how weakly trained - can always add something. Since the bons is only +2, I think it makes sense with the application, too. Given a DC 15 task, even 1 rank is enough to give the person a legit chance todo it themself, so they should be able to add something with their aid. This is reflected by the fact that the +2 is about 13% of a success onthe task. On the other hand, given a task with DC 30, the guy with only 1 rank can't really contribute much, but they might be able to inspire something in the other character. This is reflected by the +2 being only 6.5% of the success. It makes sense to me. The higher the rating, the less aid is rendered by those wishing to give aid. In this case, you've only changed that it is no longer a flat 10 needed but rather a floating boundary. That's okay, but I like the fact that the Aid Another's roll can actually make the amount of help variable. It makes the roll actually matter. But, I think either could be fine. [/QUOTE]
