[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9202213, member: 6801228"] So, if a player binds an NPC, using the rope they have on hand, that the PHB says takes a 17 to burst. And the DM rolls a 12 to burst it and declares that that makes sense, because there is no baseline and the player never took care of their rope, you imagine their would be no problems at that table? Or do you think that a DC 17 is supposed to be a DC 17? No, I don't feel blessed that my character only has the slimmest sliver of hope to succeed at things. Also, you seriously seem to underestimate how much training goes into proficiency. Let me give a hint, per those rules you keep dismissing? It takes 8 hours a day, for 250 days. To put that into context, a school year is 180 days. So, it is practically a year and half of school to get proficiency. That is not a small amount of training. I never claimed having a chance to shine was the same as shining at every skill. My claim is that since the "satisfaction with success" seems to be at 60%, the fact that only your best skills on your best scores have any hope of reaching that, and everything else is less than 50% on the most common checks, that we have a problem. A lot of room? 0 Con skills 1 strength skill 1 dex skill 5 Intelligence skills 4 wisdom skills 3 Charisma skills How many classes in the game put Intelligence as their primary stat? How many have wisdom as their primary stat? There is a problem here. Yeah, 5e isn't that easy. [/QUOTE]
