[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8363416, member: 82106"] Here we agree completely. The point is, IF you imagined a high level rogue playing with a level 1 lock, out of nostalgia perhaps (?) then the DC would still be 15, presumably by 4e rules, there's no "scaling because you are higher level", there is only "you have no business even playing around with these challenges that are 10 levels beneath you." If the GM puts you in that situation, then he should just narrate how you glance at the lock and it falls apart, lol. But this is the main argument that undermines the whole 5e bonus charade. Just do what is challenging NOW and don't worry about some sort of faux 'logic' to it. Same with skills you aren't focused on, yup, the 20th level 4e wizard is a great Athlete, by the numbers, but anyone who actually puts those numbers to the test measuring him against villagers is doing it wrong! lol.
