[QUOTE="Hadrian the Builder, post: 5658194, member: 73776"] Precisely this. I'm not clear on why mike & monte need to go through all that revamping when something like this can hit the same mark. I'd add two more options: Take 1 and take 5. if you look at this idea you get DCs in the existing skill system, and look how nicely they pair up with Mike's proposal: 5 So easy a caveman can do it. 10 Novice 15 Journeyman 20 Expert 30 Master 40 Grandmaster Impossible To me it seems better to tweak the existing rule set than come up with something new. And when would you roll the dice? Well, for example, if conditions don;t allow me to take 20, and I don;t have enough ranks to automatically succeed when taking 10....then it's worth the risk of rolling the dice and if you eliminate the per level adjustments, and stil let players assign skill points each level, then level 20 characters focused on a skill should be able to take 20 and hit those DC 40 checks no problem.
