Rogue is spending his time Investigating while the Fighter is assisting rather than rolling her own check because the Rogue’s bonus is higher. They have reason to suspect there’s a secret door in the bedroom, and they need to find it quick. Consider a three-person party who has broken into a manor to search for clues.
Really, though, the root question is how you’re running the opportunity costs (like, what would the character be doing if not Guiding?) I’m a devotee of The Angry GM’s Tension Pool, and I think it does a great job of imposing limits on Guidance while simultaneously making it feel more badass. Unanticipated check like Deception or insight suddenly being required in a conversation? Nope, not unless it had been cast beforehand.
Sustained activity, like a survival check to navigate? Sure, but the Guiding character is taking that action the whole time so they’re not doing anything else. Party member is setting up to pick a lock or investigate some runes? Guidance every time, there’s no reason not to. Book a joint session with Cairistiona and Amie, or 1:1 with whoever you prefer. Players like feeling useful and if they are always shot down and not allowed to use their abilities they won’t have as much fun playing. 1:1 5E GUIDANCE (+ t-NLP) The ideal choice if you want personalized 5E advice. It’s a great spell to help players feel like they are contributing to helping the party overcome obstacles. Here I would say there is no time, the interaction has started and guidance can’t be cast as it requires an action.Īt the end of the day, it’s only a d4 bump so I give it to them more often than not. I call for persuasion and the cleric says they cast guidance. Here is the flip side, the party bard is trying to persuade the town sherif to let us interrogate a prisoner, no one called guidance before the interaction started. For example: As the rogue approaches the door, thieves tools in hand, the cleric lays his hand on the rogues shoulder and says “may Lathander guide you my friend.” I would give guidance in this case, or if someone enters a room and says they want to check the room for traps, I imagine their character would say “wait, let me check the room for traps.” Again if the cleric wants to cast guidance when someone announces their intention why not let them. If I think it’s reasonable that the player would have an action before the skill check give it to them. Adding the d4 is a small reasonable increase, I let people have it anytime there is some preparation involved.
