[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5009838, member: 807"] maybe use a primary prson's athletics and everyone else attempts to aid, but it's a really hard DC alternatively (and more group oriented) it's a baby and two toddlers under a large pile of rocks. The way the rockpile is positioned, anyone trained in theivery or dungeoneering can tell (no roll required) that trying to move some rocks singularly will cause extra weight on the other rocks; thus all three rock sections need to be moved at once to avoid adding weight to any child. or... other skills like theivery to know a good way to set up fulcrums and levers to achieve maximum rock removal without shifting weight (i.e. granting a bonus to the athletics checks). dungeoneering to know something about the rocks (maybe they are a type that will be softer with some 'acid' based powers on them religion / arcana (medium) to tell that the rocks are some how soaked with a strange spirtitual energy heal (easy) to determine that little kids will not survive if the rocks shift weight at all perception (hard) to notice a really really small bit of dried blood soaked in to the rocks - "perhaps there was a fight here long ago ..." (when in fact it is the dead mother's driedblood) insight (easy) the mother seems obsessively focused on the children -- but that seems normal for a paniced mother .... i'm forgetting the other skills right now so that's all i can think up off the top of my head (obviously, not all of it will necessarily work)... but i kind of like the 'three kids' approach since it will force some spread out simultaneous action.
