[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 4674820, member: 386"] This is like the lock DC issue. I'd set the level of the challenge equal to the Dragon's level. That's generally what I do; whatever the opposition is, it has a level, and I use that as the level of the skill challenge. I don't [i]exactly[/i] use the level of the creatures, it's more the like the level of the encounter, but it boils down to the same thing. The level of the challenge is derived from the opposition. I've let players use their Powers in skill challenges. My basic thought is that, if it's an at-will, it allows the PC to do something that they wouldn't otherwise be able to do - roll the attack vs. the DC. If it's an encounter power, then I'll give them a +2 bonus to the roll. If it's a Daily, then a +4. An example would be: the PCs are being chased by some spined devils; the warlock uses Eldritch Blast to drops some rock in their way. He rolls his attack vs. the DC of the skill challenge, makes it. The spines that the devils shoot are blocked by the falling rubble just in time. Anyway. Since attack rolls are the same as a skill check (1d20+mods) you can substitue them in for a skill check in a skill challenge. [/QUOTE]
