Obsidian got this right for skill checks. Uses the party's member highest value.

In fact I love Deadfire's leveling, multi classes, magic, skill and general gameplay system. It feels so much better constructed and thought out than BG3.
Its like every issue BG3 has, Obsidian already solved it a decade ago lol.
Mouse control, party UI, party AI, Inventory, Rest/Camping, Skill selections and usage, Day/Night, dialogues...
People love to hate Deadfire for its story and characters... For me its such a great RPG game to just get lost into...ignoring the main story.

Sorry had to mention Deadfire, starting playing and really loving it. Its the closest thing in atmosphere to BG2 I have ever been since, well , a Black Isle game.
Playing a multi class Chanter(skald kit)/Barbarian(Furishaper) = Howler. I really FEEL for my character in this POe world, like hes there and important part of the story. I feel NOTHING for my character in BG3. Its all about the companions. I guess like in DOS2? The worst part is...I don't even like these very few companions selection we have.

It just reminded me of the bowl of goat's milk that old Winthrop used to put outside his door every evening for the dust demons. He said the dust demons could never resist goat's milk, and that they would always drink themselves into a stupor and then be too tired to enter his room..
