[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8704568, member: 6987520"] I think that is a very fair assessment. DC's don't change according to who is trying to do them, nor should the descriptive task name. Yes, I feel if the task is nearly impossible, it is for everyone, not just the PCs at that point in their career. By the time PCs might be encountering DC 25 and DC 30, I feel their odds should be on par with what level 1 PCs deal with vs. DC 15 or 20, but it isn't [I]quite[/I] there. For example, a level 1 PC is +5 vs. DC 20 needs 14. But a level 20 PC is +11 vs. DC 30 needs an 19. That is the 5-point difference that bothers me. One solution I proposed at the end of a post but no one has responded to yet was giving all creatures [I]expertise[/I] in one skill. For PCs, that would likely be a background skill. With the extra +6 at level 20, then the PC is +17 vs. DC needing a 13, almost the same as the level 1 PC needed the 14. This solution would allow higher level PCs to attempt higher level DC tasks with a reasonable chance of success but only in one thing they excel at.
