[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8720140, member: 18"] Doesn't that just bias things even further in the direction of making Full Casters strong in all areas of the game, and Martials weak? On paper looking at the DMG rules it absolutely seems like it would, simply because the skills aren't split up evenly, and some skills are much more important to gameplay than others, compounded by the Martial classes typically having STR or DEX primaries (and CON secondaries) where the casters have INT/WIS/CHA primaries. Or does the fact that it's "any check" using that stat instead of skill checks somehow counterbalance this? The issue I see there is 5E is usually pretty good about already putting the skills in place. For example Athletics is already used in Grapple/Shove. You literally have an avatar which [I]appears to be drawn in an anime style [/I](wearing completely unrealistic armour to boot). That means it is an arrestable offence, under the [I]Anime Fans, Hypocrisy[/I] act of 1998, for you criticise other people's anime choices, with sentence of up to 12 months in Horny Jail, regardless of whether the offence was Horny or not. Please turn around and put your hands behind you so we can apply the fluffy leopard-print handcuffs. [/QUOTE]
