[QUOTE="TheClone, post: 5587094, member: 90399"] Did I understand correctly that you meant to give the roleplaying bonus to the aided character? Or to the aiding character? Nevertheless, giving the bonus to the aided character sound like an interesting idea to me. Depending on the aiding character's player's choice though. It would emphasize the aspect of aiding instead of just generating success (which helps the group rather than then character). Seems like we have just the opposite point of view. I found the WotC SC rather more linear. It's not that you can't be flexible, but with thinking in advance about what skills are appropriate you have a limited set of options. Surely nobody will stop you from allowing other skills ingame, if the players have good ideas. The method of this rules is first to think about a limited set of options and later on maybe expanding that.
