When you are making an ability check or saving throw when in conversation why does it not default to the party member who is the highest in that area?

Good question. It defaults to the person talking. I would like to see the ability to change who responds, but not be prompted as to who has the best chance. That is something the player needs to be on top of.

I would like our companions to provide intel, when our character fail his check roll ...
Like:
Tav failed in history check, Gale rolls his dices, and if sucess, he speaks with "I remember that."

I would support the idea of being able to let companions express themselves instead of our characters ...
Like:
[Tav Persuation +1] Please allow us to pass.
[Wyll Persuation +3] Surelly you can see we arent even worth your time, if you let us pass, we wont bother you anymore.

But to make it default? :-/ Nah.
I like to have control over my game, the more system do automaticly the less i like it.
And to be completely honest? Sometimes its fun to try persuate someone with -1 modifier, since your character have charisma 8.
