[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9615905, member: 29398"] If those three goblins could spell the end of your character it stops being boring real fast. :) While this works as a solution on a practical level it also skips over a whole bunch of granularity and detail that I'd prefer to keep. (this was my primary objection to Skill Challenges in general, based on how I saw them implemented in the 4e modules I have) If-when you get these ideas nailed down I'd be interested in giving them a look-over. As long as these rules can and do account for all the various corner-case things that can happen even in the most trivial of combats (e.g. someone fumbles and shatters an expensive magic weapon, or a foe gets hella lucky and takes out a PC against long odds) then I'd be interested. And each DM could then decide which branches to use or not use, without too many knock-on effects elsewhere. Sounds good. The only real issues might be around what the "trunk" of that tree consists of. :) [/QUOTE]
