[QUOTE="TikkchikFenTikktikk, post: 4574644, member: 67494"] The core of 4E: every time a character does something that has a chance of failure they make a check. Succeed or fail, the result has consequences that drive the story. A string of thematically linked checks constitutes a skill challenge. Success or failure of a challenge has major consequences: the end of a quest or a significant roadblock to its completion. Consider awarding XP after each successful skill check in the challenge. This makes challenges a bit more like combat and makes progress more tangible to players. I recommend the XP award be equal to a minion of the challenges level. For example, a successful check during a level 5 challenge would reward 50 XP. For a Complexity 1 challenge you will end up awarding XP equal to a standard monster of that level. BTW: The skill challenge system combined with XP rewards after successful rolls is very similar to Tunnels & Trolls SR system. You might be able to find parallels and advice in writings about that game. Hot tech! [/QUOTE]
