Trying to hit DC 15 is very difficult for tasks you should be good at. (The tasks that were DC 20... huh?) If you were just an average character, you'd be failing those DC 15 checks. And I was feeling that these were things we should be succeeding at.The second was I got hit by stupefied from one monster. Which meant, for the rest of the session, my Wizard had a 25% chance of failing to cast any spell - and there was no way of removing it. In certain situations, this is the sort of thing that would make me walk out and never bother with the game again. It still bothers me.  (It required me to critically fail a save, so my dice luck was amazingly poor for most of the session.)At least my electric arc cantrip worked - and with a critical hit dealing 2d4+8 damage, I did feel I accomplished at least one thing.But I'm still rather concerned at the DCs.Cheers!</blockquote>
