[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8486280, member: 84112"] I often have to remind my players 'easy' checks by the book start at 5s, and I sometimes feel DMs need a little reminder of that as well. In my games I let anyone trained in a thing (skill, save, even attack rolls) auto succeed on a dc 10 or lower. (I think one of the golems has an AC 8, and as such you can choose to auto hit or roll, but if you roll nat 1s still miss (but nat 20s crit) ) IF a trained PC was going to succseed without a roll and they rolled a nat 1 and got a low number I would just keep going with they made it... 1's don't auto fail skill checks. Also I have seen a fighter/rogue in the teens for levels +6 from dex +8 from prof/expertise and +5 from magic item have a +19 to stealth... yeah, they don't need to roll if the DC is 20 or less at that point cause that is the minimum... a few level later (and prof/exp +10) they got that min roll always counted as a 10 ability seting there low roll at 31... and for some reason she would still be like "naughty word I rolled a 4" and we would have to remind her... "You mean got a 35... the highest by the book DC!" [/QUOTE]
