[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8666169, member: 67338"] Where I agree with the first part (sometimes I hand wave a DC 30 with a character that only has a +11 if rule of cool or time saving out of game comes up) I disagree with liking failing on trained things on a 1 or a 2... I am big on "if you trained you can do alot without risk" but strength is only part of climbing... being a strong non climber I would not suggest you try climbing what a weaker trained one can easily... you may make it but you may not. oh boy do I hate this one... only under very spesfic situations do I lock ability to try under prof (but I have no issue saying background allows someone to make a roll but not someone else) I think my blanked (and again I have done it with saves and attacks too) is more just to remind the players how cool it is to be a hero who has chosen to train this one thing... at low level with my house rule there are goblin or kobold wizard throwing DC 9 (-1 cast stat) spell DCs that a trained character with a +3 will auto successed on and feel awesome even if they need a 6 or higher by the rules.
