In 5E, this means that unless you are either higher-level than whoever is challenging you, or have a Feat/Class combo that makes you better, you are just saying you're better without actually being so, which is fine, but is no different from taking the combat ability and saying 'i'm really good at talking' while you have no persuasion and an 8 Cha. Why people think stats have nothing to do with reality in-game I will never understand.</p></blockquote><p></p>
