What do you do if diplomacy or bluff is important and none of the classes are Cha focussed? What if athletics is important to climb something and none of the classes are Str focussed?Different party compositions mean that different parties will have different ways of resolving problems. Just like an all fighter party will fight differently from an all rogue party or an all wizard party, they will have to have different ways of resolving skill related problems.Regards</blockquote>
