If Picking a Lock is DC15, eg, that's a "Hard" DC vs a DC10 "Average" DC. The +5 for experts bridges that gap. Things that are Hard for most people are Average for experts. That's not too big a jump and fits in that context. I am not so keen on the level-based proficiency adjustment (the +2 to +6) as I don't think the experience system accounts for skill improvement in a realistic way. I'd rather keep it static and only improve with explicit character choices (ie feats, built into some classes like rogue, etc) such that one "invests" in skills versus other things. But whatever, I can live with it.</blockquote>
