I don't honestly care about differentiating player skill or character skill or whatever. The mechanics of 5e just seem to work smoothly that way for me and it covers a wide swath of players.Like, in my ideal game we wouldn't have insight checks but when I play 5e I use those too.Thinking about it more, 5e DOES give me a tool to reward a really really good delivery and I just kinda forgot about it. Inspiration Points work really well for that. But again, I mostly play with actors and comedians and writers and stuff so I've never had an urge to make them do anything other than shut up.D&D is a weird game where you sit in a person's head and drive them around like a mech when you think about it. The disconnect feels strongest in social stuff and RP and the many directions it pulls us. The solution, I think would require making it a different game. As it is, the social rules in 5e feel like a cludge but I can work with them.</blockquote>
