Instead you get a DC that tells you how likely it is you particularly happen to know some information in an area you generally understand (trained in Nature say). Much easier and it alleviates the 2e/3e problem that it was impossible to ever master an area of knowledge, unless you really gutted your character of useful skills/NWPs.Crafting and performing DO exist. They are covered by backgrounds. Generally if you want to accomplish something by making something or performing, then the relevant 4e skill is the one that pertains to what you are trying to do (Diplomacy to influence someone by singing, maybe if you have "Opera Singer" in your background the DM can give you a +2). Likewise craft. In either case no really important activity the PC carries out should be decided by a single die roll, so its going to be a Skill Challenge anyway.I guess I'm not sure what you mean by there are no good enchanting rules... For those DMs who want to keep it simple Enchant Item can make any standard magic item. If you want to get a bit more elaborate then it really aught to be up to the DM IMHO. For example Masterwork Armors have a pretty good fluff that makes it pretty easy to imagine what you need to do to create the base item to enchant. I wouldn't object to a page in the next DMG that listed some possible materials and processes but I can come up with that if I need it.</blockquote>
