[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4674315, member: 48965"] And perhaps this is why you're having a hard time understanding one of the reasons it wasn't clear. Technically it was there, some 20 pages before the improv DC's are introduced, never brought up again in the actual sections on determining DC's. I'm sorry but I'm not understanding this... are you saying some skills in Star Wars D6 have a difficulty of Hard while other skills have a difficulty of 2? Because that would be akin to the D&D 4e skill descriptions in the PHB. Or are you saying they have a descriptor and a mechanical value that relates to that descriptor...like most rpg's I've played. Yes, I understand that, I just get the impression that when a poster says well X is one of the reasons... you're aren't really trying to say... well yes I could see how that might have been misunderstood. Perhaps I am taking your comments the wrong way, if so I apologize. Well i feel like I've stated this before but here are a few reasons I see.... 1. Arbitrary way of describing the difficulty of skills...a wall is DC 30 because it's slippery and slick, a lock is DC 30 because it's listed as paragon-tier... 2. Books that are hard to read straight through combined with putting the single reference to realism almost 20 pages before the skill section plus never actually referencing it in the actual skill section. 3. Never clearly and concisely stating challenges should be created based on the level of the challenge you wish to create not on the level of the PC's... (I could be wrong, but I don't think in 3.5 level was used except in reference to characters. The "level" of a challenge was very specifically referenced as EL or Encounter Level) I mean these are just some of the reasons I think it may have not been all that clear. Hey Rodney, just wanted to say that while I'm not currently a huge fan of D&D 4e...
