Sorry nothing personal but this seems like the worst.You keep saying PC and I am a bit confused... if I have a great idea (me the player not the character) and the other player across the table is good at it can I just advise him OUT of game, or do we have pretend my CHARACTER (PC is player CHARACTER) is adviseing someone better then me?I don't know how else to say it but I will try.Can a skilled player with an unskilled character have an esier time at a task then an unskilled player with a skilled character would? I think the answer is yes in your games.but you weigh the out of game description over the in game ability...unless i am really off here.but as you and other point out if you describe it right you can avoid the die rolls. based on how you describe it yes... now I assume you must have similar skill level of players that none have any handicap so you can do it and have it be fun for all... but I can't understand how you would introduce a less skilled or handi capped player to this.or... you can make the character matter more then the player and as such they have to choose... play a character to there own strengths or realize they can not always use there own strengths.</blockquote>
