What proof have you that I shall be safe from further harm?"[sblock=Skill Challenge]How to Subdue Your Dragon!I'm going to use [MENTION=60965]Iron Sky's[/MENTION] outstanding skill challenge rules because I like them a lot. Like, almost love them. It's kinda creepy, actually.[sblock=Rules]Each character will roll a skill check once per round using a skill that you deem pertinent and compare their result to the Individual Skill Roll table to see what effect their roll has on the group's success that round and what effect it will have on their roll next round.Once everyone has rolled, the group will have a group total that they compare to the Round Totals table that earns them Victory Points and applies cumulative bonuses or penalties to everyone's checks in future rounds. At the end of the set number of rounds, the PCs compare their Victory Point total to the Victory Point Totals table that will determine the end result of the skill challenge - how well they succeeded at the objective.Repeating SkillsRepeating a skill two or more rounds in a row results in a cumulative -2 penalty to the skill roll.Action PointsAction Points may be spent to roll an additional skill roll for the round. It must be different from the skill already used.Aid AnotherPCs may take -3 on a roll before their check to grant an ally a reroll this round; they may also take a -5 to their result to grant an ally a reroll this round.Heroic EffortA PC may decide to expend a healing surge to gain +3 to a check before it is rolled or to apply +1 to a check after it is rolled, or do both for two surges.[/sblock]Rounds: 3Individuals' Skill Rolls12-: 0 points, -2 on next round's skill check13-17: 1 point, -1 on next round's skill check18-22: 2 points, +1 on next round's skill check23+: 3 points, +2 on next round's skill checkNatural 1: -1 point, lose a healing surgeNatural 20: +1 point, gain a healing surgeRound Totals0-4 points: 0 Victory Points and Disaster: -2 cumulative penalty to all future skill checks5-9 points: 1 Victory Points and Complication: -1 cumulative penalty to all future skill checks10-14 points: 2 Victory Points and Advantage: +1 cumulative bonus to all future skill checks15+ points: 3 Victory Points and Miracle: +2 cumulative bonus to all future skill checksFinal Victory Points0-2 total points: Disaster, appropriate consequences3-5 total points: Complication, appropriate result and consequence6-8 total points: Advantage, appropriate result and benefit9+ total points: Miracle, appropriate benefits[/sblock]</blockquote>
