I use the DMG/MM mostly as guidelines. I believe that this is in the spirit of how 4e was designed, to make the DM more of a crafter of the narrative. I'll happy change HP, or make up rules and special abilities on the fly and not worry too much about the setting impact.I've been unsure of Skill Challenges and how to handle them. I believe that it is best to be transparent with the mechanics, in the same way that the combat mini-game is transparent to the players. But I've yet to put it in practice to my satisfaction. I think Skill Challenges will evolve greatly over the course of this edition. We are playtesting a great feature of 5e - oh no I said a bad word. Don't get me wrong; I dont begrudge WotC for including skill challenges in 4e and I'm very glad they did.</blockquote>
