It just seems to happen, no idea why. I like this though, and I like your reasoning. Skills definitely shouldn't be a penalty, and you shouldn't be overly advantaged/penalised if the DM just forgets about them a little. <br /><br />Maybe run it backwards? Like, if you fail the standard DEX check but have a skill, you can then roll it? Encourages the player to go "but actually" rather than being an upfront issueSpwackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247063374457045751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538256094104218982.post-44798799477359540362020-02-13T15:34:16.893-08:002020-02-13T15:34:16.893-08:00Personally, I run GLOG where you have one skill/ba...Personally, I run GLOG where you have one skill/background.
