One of the best ways to do that is to just cut to the combat, and that attitude willl seriously derail things.I think that not penalising the long-shot is a good thing. It works to make exciting combats, and I believe it would work to make exciting skill challenges.That said, it would be nice if you could CHOOSE to risk more, again much in the way you can in combat: you decide to risk those 4 attacks of opportunity to get that final flanking blow on the boss in the hopes his buddies will surrender when he goes down.However doing so should not cause your buddies to die: you took the risk, you take the penalty. So the penalty can't be failing the challenge, it has to be something that only applies to you (and also not contributing to success at the challenge).</blockquote>
