[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8177644, member: 6801845"] When it makes sense? I mean, let's say they want to use intimidate instead of diplomacy. Well, that can have repercussions later on. They pissed someone off who maybe could have been an ally. Or maybe they used intimidate on someone that respects the show of force. Or diplomacy would have worked but this is a bureaucrat who will dig in their heels because they can. I'm less likely to substitute acrobatics for things like grapple, acrobatics doesn't have anything to do with grappling. Climbing using acrobatics? Well, that depends on if there are things to swing from. For a straight wall it doesn't work but if you can swing from a rope and do a flip off the gargoyle, maybe. When it comes to religion, worshipping a god of magic isn't going to cut it but someone might be able to remember some aspects of the religion using a history check. Perhaps the social impact, or the spread of the religion things that a religion check might not even reveal. I try not to be too strict about this stuff but it does have to make sense. You can't use an investigation check to lift a barrel. Unless of course you figure out how to make a fulcrum to do the lifting for you. :) [/QUOTE]
