Have your rogue player roll every skill check, even if it's against a DC that is 10+skill+ability mod or less. If he rolls between 2 and 9, it becomes a 10 and succeeds. If he rolls 10+, he of course succeeds. If he rolls a natural 1, call it an auto-fail.If you want more granularity than a 5% flat fail rate, have him reroll his check whenever he rolls a natural 1. This time, he gains no benefit from skill mastery and has to exceed the target DC the old-fashioned way.I personally am not going to use this rule; too fiddly. But it should work to fix what you don't like about the mastery system, but still allow rogues to be excellent skill users.</blockquote>
