[QUOTE="Weiley31, post: 8443008, member: 7017196"] Okay okay okay: I'll admit that I have done something like this occasionally......ish. I've had moments where if it was something that was easily known by the pcs, they had to beat a DC of 5. Triggering a Flashback sequence that is roleplayed out have been done by a History DC 5 check. A pc easily recognizing their mentor's foot prints because they trained under them so long that they know how they walk and stuff would be a Investigation DC check of 5. Etc, etc, etc. It's really stupid trivial stuff that is easily known that gets such a low DC check. Ya I guess in a way it spits in the face of "don't roll if its not needed" and believe me, I've had plenty of moments where a passive score beat a DC check or I said "Well your a Ranger/Fighter/Wizard/insert class so this is stuff you basically already know/got drilled in your head in boot camp, whatever stuff" and no rolled happened as well. So I guess I do a mixish of it. Yes a roll of 1 or 3 has happened before, but then the modifiers for the skill rounded it out to about exactly the "5" to hit the DC 5 check or a point above.
