I thought I let you know that the aid another action has been dramatically changed to scale appropriately with character level.

from page 54 of the latest PHB errata:
The update also separates the aid attack action and creates the aid defense action. This change removes the requirement to hit AC 10, which was almost an assured assist at higher level.



I wasn't aware of that change, I like it and agree 100%. Especially with ''aid an ally's skill or ability check'' a PC who fails in assisting gives the target a -1 penalty to the next check. Awesome.

PS Excuse me if it's old news I read it a couple of days ago

Don't worry about it being old news

It's one of the better updates, in my opinion, and it really changes an aspect of the game I had house-ruled anyway. It's nice to see WotC making changes that mimic what players/DMs are actually doing, or are close enough to house rules that we will accept the update with open arms.
