[QUOTE="Twowolves, post: 2682065, member: 18093"] You are assuming that a character who puts one of their few skill points into gaining a single rank in a skill is an incompetant, when the rules specifically say otherwise. Most people in the game setting get by without ranks in things they do every day, by Taking 10 or with unskilled checks. The character with even a single rank in a skill has gone beyond what most are capable of doing, have a basic training and understanding of what they are doing. What they lack is experience. If someone was truely "incompetant", then they are incapable of using the "aid another" action in the first place. If they have even a single rank in the skill, then they are not "incompetant". Even the worst mechanic can help the best mechanic by going to the toolbox. If he brings the wrong tool, well at least he hasn't brought the average down by trying. Sheesh. [/QUOTE]
