Goblin Queen (She/Her/Hers)
Depends if the task succeeds if anyone succeeds, or if it fails if anyone fails. In the former case I ask the character with the highest bonus to make the check. If anyone in the group would have advantage on the check, the character making the roll has advantage. In the latter case, I ask the character with the lowest bonus to make the check. If anyone in the group would have disadvantage on the check, the character making the roll has disadvantage. In either case, other players can help by giving the active player buffs like Bless, Guidance, Bardic Inspiration, or whatever other abilities they have at their disposal.I'm curious how you (or your DM) handle group skill challenges. You know, situations in the game where success or failure depends on the entire group contributing.
That’s a case where the whole group fails if anyone fails, so the character with the lowest bonus rolls.
