[QUOTE="kouk, post: 4571152, member: 55992"] I would prefer the second way you gave myself. There isn't a strictly correct way to do it though. Skill challenges are not normally simple skill checks as your actual examples implied though, they are a collection of skill checks used creatively to accomplish an overall goal. To make a skill challenge out of seeing the Tapestry, more than a single die roll would be required. You might need History to bring up relevant reasons as to why it is important you look at it. You might need Diplomacy to remind the man of your past services. You might need to use Nature to draw a correlation between the giant tribe you fought earlier with the events depicted on the tapestry, or the material it is purported to be made from. Generally for social encounters, the other party is very reluctant to let you do things your way, or else really represents investigating and interviewing multiple people such as in a party setting.
