[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8704639, member: 6987520"] Well, this explains a lot. The tasks are in terms of the world, not the PCs doing them, to me. :) Without a feature to help them, such as magic, inspiration, or expertise, this will never be the case. 10% is the best baseline they can hope for. In all honesty, yes, this is an issue for me. I find a +4 boost in proficiency ridiculous for 17+ levels of experience. I've increased it to anywhere from +8 to +12 at 20th level, but always dropped it because it means I also have to adjust ACs and spell saves. Which never existed until Tasha's came out.... So, what to do before then? Pretty much my view. A feat (which is OPTIONAL btw both in that feats are optional [I]and[/I] Tasha's isn't accepted by everyone, myself included for most of it!). Now, for a LONG time I had a house-rule "background expertise" which allowed you to trade both your background skills for expertise in one of them, but dropped it along with the majority of my house-rules. Granting expertise in a single skill to each creature alleviates much of the problem, since it mostly exists at the higher DCs. [/QUOTE]
