[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8848135, member: 29398"] I think I've known a few of those drivers in the past... :) Which only points to the fact that the d20 just isn't granular enough for what it's being asked to do. The key phrase in there is "over time"; which in what seems like the typical 5e campaign is a very scarce resource. You don't become an experienced driver in a month or two; it takes at least a few years of doing it regularly. Most 5e campaigns (at least, the published ones) aren't designed to last longer than a few in-game months - the PCs are on a hyper-accelerated power drive where they gain stupendous amounts of new abilities in a ridiculously short (to them) time. Given that, it's hardly surprising that by 15th level you're still nowhere near perfect at something you learned at 2nd - you just haven't had the practice time and repetition, never mind you've also been getting bombarded with more new abilities during that time.
