But you see how the system doesn't make any differentiation between the "success = more reward" type challenge and the "failure = more pain" type challenges in Thunderspire. This leads people, when designing an encounter or adventure or something, to think "So should I put a skill challenge here or not?" and leave it that... a binary thing, either 'yes skill challenge' or 'no skill challenge'. I think that complicates it by obfuscating the situation, and instead, thinking "How can I reflect the feel of situation through the dice in the best way?" can help a lot more to get the best result.</blockquote>
