[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 479438, member: 1465"] With 2 PCs only it's just fine to roll twice, but with a group of 6 like mine, rolling for each means that it is almost sure at least one will hear the sound. OTOH, on a Move Silently / Hide check, with 6 rolls you are almost sure at least 1 is gonna fail, which will spoil the whole party (I'm thinking about all the party sneaking together). That's why I make collective rolls, with the best modifier (if 1 success means party success) or the worst modifier (if 1 failure means party failure). Note: this does NOT mean I roll collective ALL Move Silently check and so, only when it is irrelevant WHO EXACTLY won/succeeded the check. You may apply some bonus/penalty (e.g. +/-2) for being a big group. Notice that with this habit a player may think he doesn't need to spend skill points in Listen/Spot if someone else in the party has an overall better bonus; instead, there are still very important situations (e.g. surprise) when everyone's rolling by himself.
