[QUOTE="Paraxis, post: 6734453, member: 13009"] Yes everyone can make any ability check in the game. That is why they are called out as ability checks like Intelligence (arcana) instead of just Arcana. This a perk, you can do anything you want to do just describe your character doing it. Now does the DM have full free range when it comes to ability checks, attacks, saves etc...yes they do. If you describe your character as pondering over the nature of the magic wards on the alter and you are Brusker the Barbarian, the DM might not even allow you to roll, roll with disadvantage, or set the DC higher just for you. If you describe your character as pondering over the nature of the magic wards on the alter and you are Fizballz the Wizard, the DM might not even make you roll you just know what then mean, roll with advantage, roll against a lower DC or just make a normal roll at the DC he set earlier. On your issues with Jack of All Trades, it is amazing ability and bard is one of the best classes in the game. Jack of All Trades adds 1/2 proficiency bonus to ALL ability checks, like initiative, counterspell attempts, dispel magic attempts, all the normal ability and tool proficiency checks you don't normally have proficiency in. It is very nice. [/QUOTE]
