[QUOTE="GMMichael, post: 7869379, member: 6685730"] 1. No stacking, because Bounded Accuracy. Use the better proficiency/total, mostly because the Proficiency Bonus represents the best effort that a character of a given level can give. There's not much point for a proficiency bonus if other skills can just stack up and exceed it. 2. This depends on what they're trying to discover. And how the discovery is made. A "roll" is pretty vague. A "perception roll" is slightly less vague. But wouldn't you get a penta-advantage if you got a scribbled note in the office, and called over four colleagues to try and decipher it? 3. So, persuasion or deception? See point 1. There's also a rule, somewhere, that says "just let the player do what she wants because it's fun." Not my favorite rule, though :devilish: 4. I know, several smarter and faster posters already posted some/all of this [I]brilliant[/I] advice. *Title note: just noticed that if I cover my eyes, Blue will think I've disappeared! [/QUOTE]
