[QUOTE="Festivus, post: 4282787, member: 34532"] The skill challenge is the one thing that seems to have changed from DDXP (plus a few minor edits like [spoiler]the party isn't assumed to have stolen horses on the way out of town.[/spoiler]) In both versions it's a level 1, difficulty 3 challenge. So 8 successes before 4 failures. In the DDXP version, you are given three DCs, low, moderate and high, and the players were supposed to tell you which they wanted to use. I think that method was scrapped but I don't have a DMG to confirm it. In the RPGA version there are no DCs given, rather, a flat DC is given for various skills (level 1 is DC 12), if you fail something bad might happen but often you get a second save at a much higher DC before it's a fail, if you succeed by above another given DC you get a bonus. The RPGA version is much easier to read/run IMO. There are a lot more examples also in the RPGA verison of the module as well. I really think that the only complaint I have is the format they chose. It should be a single page per sheet, not two pages per sheet. [/QUOTE]
