[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8219491, member: 86653"] Right. But the DC list provided does go up to ridiculous levels. It tops out at 30. A 20th-level rogue with expertise in thieves’ tools and maxed DEX has a +17 to pick locks. Setting the DC at 30 gives them a 13+ on the d20 to succeed. That’s a good chance. And literally no one else in the party would be able to pull it off, short of magic. Other than advice that reads “use the higher end of the chart for higher level characters” would people need? I though that was a given. What I would object to is tailoring the challenges specifically to the characters in play and their stats. Making everything exactly tuned to the PCs makes all the differences between characters meaningless. If I will have to roll a 15+ on a d20 at level one to pick a lock and still have to roll a 15+ at level 20 despite years of training and the acquisition of magic items...no matter what everything is always exactly as difficult...then why bother?
