Most Often Used Skill?

[Warbringer]

Spellcraft - but then we paly a successful check to cast a spell.

Right after that Stealth (MS/Hide) or Perception (Listen/Spot/Search)

Yeah, were playing 4e

 

[Doctor DM]

Spot and search. Then tumble and move silently, but that just might be because we have a ninja, bard, monk, and scout.

 

[werk]

Spot.

Followed by search.

After those, I'd say, probably...sense motive.

 

[Asmor]

Spot, definitely.

Least used? Knowledge (Common Sense), Knowledge (What the hell you're talking about) and, of course, Knowledge (Your ass from a hole in the ground).

 

[Fieari]

In order:

* Spot
* Knowledge (All of 'em), as my gameworld contains lots of custom, templated, leveled, or esoteric creatures, not to mention needing to know where to go, historical stuff, help on puzzles, etc etc.
* The various acrobatic skills: climb/balance/tumble/jump, as I like throwing them against nasty terrain, and they are often without the proper spell prepared to just bypass the trouble.
* Concentration, in order to do multiple things at once while navigating the treacherous terrain mentioned above, while the horrible monster approaches from behind.

 

[Pbartender]

Usually Spot and Listen.

With Search, Hide, Move Silently and Tumble coming in close behind.

 

[DreadArchon]

Well, I'm not sure about the middle of the list, but:
1) UMD (Warlock with wands, 'nough said)
2) Search (checking for traps is SOP)
3) Knowledge (monsters, locations, etc.)
4) Move Silent (we have people with Sneak Attack)
5) Bluff (the Warlock talks a lot)
6) Gather Info (because I, the DM, deliberately leave things vague until examined)
7) Sense Motive (chatty and disguised BBEG's)
......
30) Balance (used twice, ever, but it was crucial)
31) Tumble (used twice, ever, and once failed)
32) Climb (used twice, ever, and it was unimportant)
33) Swim (the PC's usually prefer to avoid water, but I think it got used once)
34) Decipher Script (used once, and it was pointless)
35) Sleight of Hand (never, but there were times it could have been used)
36) Forgery (not even close)

 

[Mark CMG]

I wonder if there should be more of a division between trained and untrained skills, and then combine some where possible?

Listen & Spot.
