Help Another
Time Required: Simple Action.
Skill: None.
You spend an action assisting another in whatever they are attempting. You must specify the character you are assisting, or a specific action you are assisting regardless of whom is taking that action. You then roll two ten-sided dice and set them aside. If you already have dice set aside by taking this action, those dice must be discarded. If the action you are attempting to assist requires a trained skill, and you are not trained in that skill, you roll only one die.
A character whom you are assisting may choose to take any one die from among those you rolled and set aside, and add it to their roll as though it were a die of favour.
Kioni decides to help out with searching for traps—her Perception isn't great, but at least it's trained. Her player Sarah rolls a 7 and a 3, and sets them aside.
Aria Swiftfoot is up next, and decides to search for traps. She rolls a 5 and an 8—good numbers, but she decides to take Kioni's 7 and replace her 5 with it. That's a total roll of 15, and a total skill check of 18.
Next up, Sir Roland is searching for hostile monsters. His Perception is terrible, and his die roll is even worse—a 4 and a 1. He'd like to take Kioni's 3 to replace his 1, but because he is searching for monsters, not traps, he cannot do so.
