[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7302226, member: 6919838"] As pointed out by Li Shenron the working together gives a wide latitude for the Gm to be reasonable about these things. Additionally a Gm can require any given task to require proficiency so that is another level of filtering for say things like deep research help and such. But for the combat benefit itself, i am pretty liberal with it being able to be done... after all it can be as simple as a distraction. Given the loss of an action that could have been combat, its something i like to encourage for PCs instead of discourage. As for a familiar, they are acting independently and i generally treat the obey commands a not the same as specific direction of maneuvers in combat (unless a bonus action is spent like it works with many summons/pet type effects..) So for combat, i see it as a good option for tactical play to be encourage. For out of combat when it makes sense it works well to involve others and encourage teamwork but has enough openings for sensible restrictions to keep it in line. It also is a great way to resolve "gang rolls." [/QUOTE]
