[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8273726, member: 23751"] Not really. If I want to do something, I'm going to do it. I don't need the DM to create the opportunity for me. I can do that myself. I set my own personal goals and work towards those resolutions. The DM reacts to me and what I do. This seems very similar the whole party "face" thing. Even if the Bard has +10 and you have +3, it's ridiculous to think that everyone is going to just talk to the Bard and ignore the rest of the party, or that people would be okay with one person doing all of their talking for them. The entire concept of a party face is meta and wouldn't exist in the vast majority of scenarios. Sure, you can opt into a game where the party "face" outshines you are social interactions, but that's because the game isn't being run very realistically and the other players are just sitting back, rather than entering into social situations of their own. So what if you're a butt scratching Barbarian with the social grace of an elephant. Those sorts of social interactions are often far more fun and enjoyable, and accomplish a lot more than a Bard rolling a high number. Another thing wrong with statement is in assuming that Cap or Tony are even close to being the marksman that Hawkeye is, or that they possess his variety of arrows. I mean, Cap can hit a spot with a shield, but it's unlikely that the shield will accomplish anything close to what Hawkeye's variety of arrows can accomplish. Tony would be hard pressed be as accurate as Hawkeye, and even if he hits, his repulser ray would almost certainly be overkill. Each has different skills and there will be many situations where the Cap and Ironman just aren't the right tool for the job. If Cap and Ironman outshine you, it's because you let them. Not everything requires a hammer, and that's mostly what Ironman and Cap are. [/QUOTE]
