-Some tasks lend themselves to working with others. Others can be difficult or impossible to do with companions. Some tasks, such as fleeing or sneaking, do not benefit at all from having a load of friends right behind you.

-When acting as a group provides no benefit, one player rolls the dice and the same result counts for everyone.  If that player rolls a 9, then everyone's score is 9 and they add their own bonuses and penalties.

-If, on the other hand, working together can benefit a situation, one character takes the lead, and up to three other characters can add up to half their bonus (rounded up).

 You always round up.

+\paragraph{Dangerous actions are not \glspl{restingaction}}
 so if someone has to get this spell just right the first time, or judge the chances of a cave-in and commit to a particular tunnel, they do not get a resting action, even if they have a couple of moments (or months) to spare.
 
 If a task must succeed first time, it's not a resting action!
 
-\paragraph{It's only a Team Roll when working together helps.}
-Writing as a group might seem fun, but it won't always help, so writing a play would not normally allow for a Team Roll.
-And if the players ask to make a team roll to craft a fantastic statue, reply `no'.
-Master carvers don't ask for help chiselling their statues, so the roll has to be a Group Roll, i.e. the lowest score can drag everyone down.

-Conversely, anyone building a basic raft would welcome all the help they can get.
-This shows that the group should be allowed a Team Roll.
