[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 7642542, member: 6775031"] Honestly, aside from gimmick builds that abuse Athletics in combat, skill checks don't come up [I]that[/I] often. If you made Reliable Talent only usable once per Short Rest, then it wouldn't change that much, because it would still be there for those few times when you really needed it. I still wouldn't be a fan of this change, though, because it slows down gameplay by making the rogue player stop and think about whether they want to use it right now. They already made the tough decision, to play a skill-based character rather than a combat-focused one, so forcing more tough decisions whenever they want to apply that choice would be overkill. It's similar to how many utility spells work - the tough decision was in whether to learn and prepare them, so if you do happen to have the right tool for the job, it's preferable to just have it work automatically. Out of curiosity, is this thread intentionally jumping onto the "nerf rogues" bandwagon? Or was it just a coincidence? [/QUOTE]
