Not having ranks in this skill doesn't mean you can't tie knots, it just means you can't pull off fancy rope tricks (lassos, slip knots, snares, etc).2) DCs that change depending on skill ranks isn't how the d20 system works.3) Building a simple raft cannot possibly be much harder than surviving in the wild, something the average 1st level commoner can do (and they probably don't have any WL ranks either). Just because a task is outside the comfort zone for cosseted 20th century urbanised westerners doesn't mean it would be so for someone living in the low-tech environment typical of D&D.No wonder people are complaining about certain classes only getting 2 skill points per level, if this sort of DC inflation is the norm.</blockquote>
