[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8574129, member: 27385"] I tend to go back and forth with group checks. It partly makes sense for a navigation check or navigating a boat across the river. It makes some sense when searching a room or climbing cliffs using ropes. I'm sure it makes no sense in certain situations like picking a pocket or concentration. I might go with some sort of group check that succeeds with penalties. If the whole group is sneaking and 3/5 make the check, then good you succeed. 2/5 makes the check- then maybe you just waste time or someone spots you but you have time and maybe another encounter just became harder. 1/5 makes the check and you get noticed. Maybe there is an alarm or just guards charge you. I guess there is not a lot of success when you are seen and attacked, but some of you get the idea. Sort of like the DC is 15 to succeed. Failure by 5 or less and you cannot progress, but do not fail yet. This comes into play with something like climbing a wall and you get halfway before you need another check. [/QUOTE]
