[QUOTE="Campbell, post: 5923211, member: 16586"] I agree that in parts the abstraction breaks down and if anyone deserves an increase in accuracy its the fighter. Of course that's part of the problem with any abstraction especially the mixed metaphor that is Attack rolls/AC and damage/hp in D&D. Still have to see what higher levels entail for the fighter. I wouldn't mean if Clerics and their ilk don't scale though. They enhance themselves through magic. That's good enough for me. No rogue is going to fail at a mundane task for a skill they're trained in. Don't even need to roll for it. Skill Advantage means that a rogue takes the worse of their check or 10+Ability Mod+Skill. Combined with knack which grants them advantage on any check 2/day they are remarkably consistent. Hence the cool under pressure remark. Need more information on learning spells. My gut instinct is that spells are treasure and I don't think you should have to roll to use treasure. You earned it by acquiring the spell book/scroll. [/QUOTE]
