An above average one would have +13 to +15.  Kinda easy to make that DC 15 check for a specialist.Edit: You are also overlooking all the help they get from nurses, and other specialists in the OR.  They are rolling +9 to +12 on average WITH advantage.There are renowned doctors that have a 5%-10% success rate.  Why? Because they are the only ones that can do those surgeries with any chance of success.  People go to them from all over the world to have a very low chance of success.  Because with them there is a chance.You mean the routine(very easy) or easy(easy) surgeries?  I thought you were talking about the actually hard surgeries.</blockquote>
