[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9428426, member: 6801228"] Sure, we could have a skill challenge system, and maybe a good one. And the idea of taking a bigger risk to get two successes instead of one would be something that could be done in that sort of system. But, again, the community cannot accept that when you stop hiding, you stop getting the benefits of hiding, because it doesn't say so in the rules. They would demand to know exactly what constitutes a "risk" how risky it is... then immediately start complaining that the "take a risk" action only increases the DC by 3, because what if they think the DC should increase by more, or alternatively, how dare they not tell us how much the DC increases by? Doesn't this just show that Crawford stabs DMs in effigy in secret in his office!! I mean we literally in the last discussion I saw on skill challenges had people not understand how you could possibly use non-standard skills as part of the challenge without cartoon physics. Would it be a neat system? Sure, could be, but I just can't imagine DnD having the audience for it. At least not on this site. [/QUOTE]
