It's true that part of the problem in 4e comes from the huge point spread in skills, and I do really, really hope that 5e closes the gap between trained/untrained (or however they want to do it) characters. That way a DC 10 Sneak could be automatic for the rogue, easy for the fighter, and iffy for the wizard-- but then the DC 10 Arcana is free for the wizard, easy for the rogue, and tough for the fighter (or something like that). In 4e it's either easy for the expert or impossible for everyone else, which does kinda lead to the Passive-entitlement issue (and the issue of everybody but one PC sitting out a skill check or challenge).I also like returning to Take 10 as an active choice. I think it's really Passive that I have a problem with, like I have an obligation as DM to track players' skills and tell them when they're missing stuff they should be catching. If the player doesn't think to ask if an NPC is lying, I sure ain't gonna remind him...EDIT: I wanted to give you some XP, but it said I have to "spread it around," whatever that means.</blockquote>
