No, in the second example the DC is not 10. It is in fact tiered. 10-14 is partial success, and 15 is full success. I argue RAW for...

The base DC is for full success. The lesser DC is partial success. If we drop the DC to 10, then we have to drop the partial success...

No. Assuming I know the NPC well enough, which as I said is only a very few of them. If I don't know, that's what rolls are for. You...
