[QUOTE="Ashrym, post: 7857434, member: 6750235"] Level does matter. That's why proficiency bonus changes. It's just a slower change than we were used to. Attacks and saving throws are tied to the same proficiency bonus that skills use. The proficiency bonus is what matters less in skills or attacks, but feats are there to apply to skills and we have a few examples in the PHB (these is under-developed and also left to DM discretion). The disconnect is in thinking we need defined effects. If there is something a person feels the character should reasonably be capable of then do it. I don't bother with expecting a roll a lot given the category a character is capable of. I just narrate it. Over-rolling is the enemy of doing things. The only discrepancy that exists is between how hard a DM might think that action is vs the player and 5e went the DM empowered route vs consistent application among tables. That's a campaign specific thing and I think it's WAI. The only other time I see an issue is if a player or DM doesn't know what might apply, which is why examples are good but not necessarily DC's.
