      Sam had it easier. With both having Expertise on the used skills (Deception vs Insight) that meant it came down to two things:
      - Quay's ability modifier was +5 for Charisma vs +3 for Cerrit
      - As an eloquence bard, Sam cannot roll lower than 10 for a minimum of 25

      @@dude59974 I believe he does, the lowest Travis can roll on insight assuming he has expertise and reliable talent is 23 (10 from reliable talent +10 in expertise for level 14 and +3 from his wisdom). He probably just rolled below 10.
      For Sam, his minimum would be a slightly higher 25 (10 from silver tongue +10 with expertise and +5 with charisma). We can infer he rolled a 15 here.
      Also rogue has 4 expertises. Cerrit probably had them on perception, investigation, insight, then either survival or arcana.
      Edit: Also from Travis' body language, you can see he is smiling before rolling (implying he still has a decent chance to beat it, with a 17 or higher to be precise). Without expertise, it would indeed be impossible to beat 30 since his theoretical maximum would just be 28.
      23 is crazy hard to get.

    Man, I remember playing my first warlock with stupidly high deception and intimidation. Some of the funniest moments were me dressing up as a wizard and yelling at cultists. Then rolling like a 25 on deception and convincing them to do the most counterproductive stuff I could come up with.

If a normal NPC rages, they could get for a while one or two powerfull Monkey Shaolin's moves. If a Bard rages, they would have a little bit of invisible magic, where the tables drop on the top of the boss. If a Tools Maker rages, their would have a Momentum spining and a pointing engine to hit some significant damage.
