They've got a massive amount of variance based on the DC and skills of the PCs, and the best possible plan for dealing with them as a player is to make sure that only the person with the best relevant skill participates (either by withdrawing from the situation, or by always "assisting"). They're also pretty tedious dice rolling affairs.Watch out for 5e skill DCs, because using them verbatim makes PCs look like incompetent clowns.Stick with the tried and true action declaration followed by a potential roll: but bear in mind that most of the time you shouldn't bother with a roll, and just judge the action on it's merits and the skills of it's participants.</blockquote>
