Message: <blockquote data-quote="Paraxis" data-source="post: 6536316" data-attributes="member: 13009">I don't put tasks behind a proficiency door, anyone can try anything.  The section in the rules is Ability Checks not proficiency checks.The only place in the whole rules system where it mentions not allowing someone to try anything they want is under the description of locks and manacles, so I see that being a very odd exception to the norm since it is pretty obscure.Anyone can try to pick a pocket, climb a wall, play a harp, know about arcane things, or intimidate people.  Now if you have proficiency there are plenty of occasions where I wouldn't even ask for a roll, a bard with perform and harp tool proficiency can just explain he is entertaining the tavern for the night and if he doesn't want to impress a young lady or noble doesn't need to roll.</blockquote>
