Message: <blockquote data-quote="N'raac" data-source="post: 6202476" data-attributes="member: 6681948">I think your comments largely resolve the question overall.  However, unlike [MENTION=42582]pemerton[/MENTION], your comments indicate that 1[SUP]st[/SUP] level characters would neither be seeking an audience with the King nor seeking out the Great Wyrm to slay, as both are inappropriate challenges for such characters.  His indicate that the difficulty of defeating the Great Wyrm is set by the rules, but social challenges are not.  This seems a substantive difference between your two interpretations.   In both, the difficulty of the challenge comes from the chart. In yours, however, the answer to the Chamberlain appears to be “Well set it based on whatever level the characters are” from [MENTION=42582]pemerton[/MENTION], where yours is based on determining the appropriate level of challenge for the desired task, from which the difficulty is derived, independent of the PC’s capabilities, just as the Great Wyrm does not become a difficult but manageable challenge for 5 L1 characters. I look forward to the post, however its departure from [MENTION=42582]pemerton[/MENTION]’s statements indicate that it will be illustrative of your style, and not his.  It does seem odd to believe that there are three playstyles, each with homogenous groups, so this should not be surprising.</blockquote>
