If that makes sense...IE since I know unless I do something to get a bonus I will fail at this task, I'm more likely to try to do something in game to garner that bonus then if I figured I just needed to roll well.The same being true on the other side of the screen as well- since people don't understand numbers as well, it's easier for a DM to say ok this is now an apprentice level task or something as opposed to figuring out what the proper DC should be, or just saying eh +2 I guess...</blockquote>
