[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4064303, member: 710"] I might be wrong, but I would assume that your formula works for "typical challenges of your level". A 4th level hero needs to beat a DC 12 to steer the [s]roller coaster[/s] mine cart. A 14th level hero encountering the same mine cart would still need a 12. But he probably won't encounter the same mine cart. He is in a different dungeon,one with a large break in the track and a fiery hoop he has to jump through and with Ogers sidelining the path. He needs a DC 17 to make the jump over the break through the hoop. A 24th level hero might find a mine cart on broken rails, with only 2 wheels, and jumping throug an reserve gravity field. off course, he needs to beat a DC of 22 to make the jump... Off course, any given hero will only ever encounter one of these mine cart rides. And the rules will probably not tell you how awesome you need to describe the cart ride to make the DC and "level appropriateness" feel "reasonable". [/QUOTE]
