(For example, a 3rd level half-elven expert, with 6 ranks in Diplomacy, 5 ranks in Bluff, 5 ranks in Sense Motive, 5 ranks in Knowledge: Nobility and Royalty, the Skill Focus (Diplomacy) feat and the Negotiator feat would have a +19 on Diplomacy checks, and could make a DC 25 Diplomacy check with a Take 10).DC 30: A very difficult task.DC 40+: An insanely difficult task, usually only accomplishable by characters working in concert (via Aid Another) or by higher level characters very focused on the skill in question.DC 0 - very easy, you can do it asleep.DC 5 - pretty easy. Assuming you're not distracted, you'll be able to do it. e.g. Climbing a wall with the aid of a rope.DC 10 - easy, if somewhat chancy.DC 15 - moderateDC 20 - hardDC 30 - difficultDC 40 - nearly impossible.</blockquote>
