When the rules say that you can use x or y skill nearly every time either skill is explicitly noted the GM has a much higher bar to overcome the resulting murk when that GM says "no you can only use X skill not Y" or they are making their own adventure/rencounter/etc where one is not an option. Couple the two together and wotc has gone out of their way to make it difficult for the same GM  you are so eager to point the blame at."participate" was not the bar being discussed in the post you quoted with what you wrote way back <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/size-carrying-capacity-strength.701945/post-9247262" target="_blank">here</a> where you were explicit about where the blame falls..."highlight" is a much higher degree of involvement than merely being able to "participate".* I want to say it was a statement that involved druids but could have been about something else.</blockquote>
