Skill challenges worked in 4e where the players were encouraged to initiate skill checks and the DM was encouraged to say yes unless there was a compelling reason to say no. I don’t think they work as well in 5e where the players describe what their characters do and the DM determines the results, calling for a die roll if necessary to resolve uncertainty in the outcome. Skill challenges wouldn’t flow right in that action resolution framework, and the meta-structure of the skill challenge just doesn’t feel necessary to me in that context. The exploration rules fill that role for me in a way that is better integrated into 5e’s core gameplay loop than skill challenges would.</p></blockquote><p></p>
