[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 6338251, member: 6776887"] Don't forget that the DC descriptions are relative and cover all characters, trained and untrained, from level 1 to 20. A DC20 strength check may be nearly impossible for you, but it is easy for the level 20 soldier trained in athletics and a 20 in strength. That character gets a +11 to their roll. In a calm situation, your character with a strength of 11 can take 10 on his strength roll. This represents taking your time and being careful about it. You would then hit the Easy DC of 10 [I]ever[/I] time. Under a combat or rushed situation, your wizard would still make it 55% of the time. Easy still seems like an appropriate descriptor for DC10 to me since an untrained character with a 10 stat can succeed 100% of the time when they can take their time. I have a list of my players relevant information (AC, stats, ideals, etc.) so I know what their passive check would be. I will just move things along if I know that it is a calm situation and everyone can succeed by taking 10. Otherwise, you repeatedly run into the situation where someone flubs a die roll and it slows the action down. [/QUOTE]
