[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6938048, member: 15700"] Mostly history or investigation checks. Or any time the PCs have a chance of recollecting anything. Most cases, no, not any other party member could make the same check because most checks are conditional. I.e., Only the player with the X background would have a chance of recalling such information. I didn't insult you. And now you're going all conspiracy truther on me? Do you want to know what is truth? Here is some truth for you: Objectively wrong. We've had this discussion so many times before. We've even had lots of polls. And every time, upwards of [b]90%[/b] of people polled do not consider themselves optimizers or power gamers. So unless you have a different definition of "niche" than the rest of us use, I hate to break it to you, but you are the exception. Especially when you make claims implying that a single attribute point difference would make one character "way way worse." I'm not going to address the rest of what you said because honestly I stopped here, although I'm betting you probably resorted to a logical fallacy or two later on. There would be no point. If one thing this election has shown me, it's when one person starts throwing out wild claims without any real evidence, ignores the evidence in front of them, and still insists they know the "real truth"? There is absolutely no point in trying to have discourse. [/QUOTE]
