<p>That allows us to hit a DC of 84.</blockquote><p>These are all bonuses are ones the game allows you to have at the same time... and they all stack... and they add up to a number greater than 70... huh?
<p>(We must be talking past one another. When you said "I'd still like to see math saying DC 70 is possible", I took you to mean, well, that you'd like to see how making a DC 70 check was possible. But perhaps you meant something else? Like "I'd like see math saying DC 70 is possible •given restrictions X, Y and Z•"? Or something?)
<br />
</blockquote><p>they all stack, but for example to add 16 from 2d8 you need to roll 8 twice, which happens 1.5% of the time, roughly. And you need to roll that in exactly the roll you are using the 1/day bonuses, and so on. Which might work 1.5% of the time for •ONE• action in your ship from •ONE• of your crewmembers in a single given round.
<p>So while this might be the highest theorycrafted roll possible, it's not something that is going to happen anytime soon in any game table anywhere. </blockquote><p>Given the dice odds of both the d20 and the envoy ability, you still have a 60% chance to fail on that once-per-day ability to do something you can do readily at only a 37.5% chance of failure when you get the ability without having to use <i>any</i> once-per-day abilities <i>or</i> the ships computer (you can get around +15+1d6+1 as a level 6 envoy).
<p>It may be possible, even readily so, but it's almost <i>twice as easy</i> to do the same <i>exact</i> same thing <i>at level 6</i>, while spending <i>no</i> resources beyond the Resolve necessary to use the action to begin with. </blockquote><p>How are you getting around the fact that RAW, expertise die (and operative's edge) don't work for crew actions?
