Why is this a problem? In real life it is also sufficient, if one in the group knows the way.
Also, it is sufficient, if one person is a good diplomat, can open locked doors chests etc.

So this is a normal situation for most skills. It is sufficient, if one in the group has it.

There are, ofcourse, other skills, which are necessary for the whole group: Everybody needs good sneaking skills, if the whole group wantsto sneak.

But why is it a problem that there are skills of both kinds?
