Message: <blockquote data-quote="keterys" data-source="post: 4971898" data-attributes="member: 43019">As you level, the DCs increase. In fact, the DCs increase by more than half your level, so the average DCs just increase. DCs go up 2 every 3 levels, or 18 over 27 levels. For some skills your ability score bumps will keep pace with that, but for others you'll just fall behind by 2 over levels. Sure, you'll do some easy DCs at higher level, but you'll do some easy DCs at lower level. Ditto for high ones.So, your basic premise is false. Further, unlike damage where it's relevant how much you've just increased it by, it's rarely the case where you care that for skills - it matters more than in  4 checks of 20 you failed. Or in 3 checks of 20 you failed.Either way, though, much like -1 to attacks, the -1 to skills is a relevant factor at all levels. On some attacks, or checks, the penalty might matter more to you than others, but the important part is that it matters.And yeah, it's not terribly important, but it's a common misperception that leads to badly designed things like higher level powers that give out bigger and bigger penalties or bonuses to checks or attacks.</blockquote>
