If Max told Jack to go do X Y and Z (even if said things were withing Jack's skill set) why would it be wrong for Jack to point out Max is BETTER qualfied to handle it??If in D&D my 3rd level wizard is totaly bad ass, and finds a threat that will end up going against the whole kingdom, and he brings it to a person of athurity, and that person tells him to go get X and do Y and then Z to save everyone...well there are some quastions...If the NPC above is a 6th level Minon (Vizer to the king) then well du'h of cource I am better to handle this...If the NPC above is a 12th level Wizard (spiral tower mage) then...well why whould I do it...he is BETTER at it...if it is this important shouldn't the best do it??A real real life situation is me and my lap top... I have two friends that do IT work all the time, and know way more then I do about my computer. If I ask them for help with my new computer problem, that makes sense...on the other hand if one called me up and said "can you help me my printer isn't working" I would think it was a joke...</blockquote>
