Skills will use one DC Table, preferablyS'mon's Difficulty Class Table10: Easy Heroic task15: Moderate Heroic task20: Hard Heroic Task, Easy Paragon Task25: Moderate Paragon Task30: Hard Paragon Task, Easy Epic Task35: Moderate Epic Task40: Hard Epic TaskConsider Paul's XP MethodEach encounter or separate skill challenge is worth 1XPEach boss encounter is worth 2XPCharacters level-up after 20XP.Further modules will allow any new power or feat, etc.. even if a duplicate or similar. Designers will look back at why Gold Box video game D&D is still popular to this day. The gaming experience made sense and wasn't a hassle. Characters had a Guard, Bandage option. Etc.. This can be worked into a table top experience too.Designers will stay away from a do-it-yourself rules game. They may offer optional rules but there should be core rules that everyone should know is what defines the game.</blockquote>
