[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9374906, member: 63508"] Recent discussion got me thinking. There's no real list of DC 20 skill checks for 5e because 5e wanted us to have a personal feel for the type of game and adjudicate skill checks to match. But as a community, what do us ENWorlders, especially us DMs, think a DC 20 check for a given skill could do. A DC 20 check is something a commoner has a 5% chance of doing but a novice adventurer with a lot of talent and some proficiency in the skill could do 25% of the time. For example, would a DC 20 Strength Athletics check would let you double your jump distance? A peasant would have a 5% chance of adding that extra 10 feet in a lucky jump. But a new barbarian could add 16 feet to their jump 1/4 of the time. It could happen but its not reliable. Or do you think it should be triple jump distance? Create a DC 20 skill check for any skill and let's talk. [/QUOTE]
