[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7867874, member: 97077"] Sure, happy to take a look! How I call for ability checks sidesteps this issue and lets the player decide which skill proficiency applies to the ability check I call for. I just call for one of the six ability checks, then they add whatever bonus they think applies based on their description. We work under the assumption that they are doing so in good faith and we've never been shown to be wrong. In order for there to be a check, there would have to be a meaningful consequence for failure. Reasonable people can disagree on what constitutes "meaningful" and only the context of playing the game will really tell. But in this example, the players don't seem to think there is a consequence for failing this action (since it's no bigs to just pile on), so maybe there shouldn't have been a roll to begin with - they just succeed or fail outright. If there is a consequence and they're willing to keep incurring it, then fair enough, that's on them. Same answer as #1 above. [/QUOTE]
