I'd prefer if all fixed DCs were replaced with easy/moderate/hard.That would also make it easier to use traps, hazards, skill challenges, etc. from official sources at different levels.As a DM, when I place terrain features in an encounter, I decide what level they should be and thus derive the DCs. Not all terrain features need to have the same level as the encounter just as not all monsters in an encounter need to be of the same level.It's a just a different (more abstract) way to think about things. It doesn't really matter how a wall has been constructed, all that is important is how difficult does it appear to be to climb the wall.I've recently played an adventure in which the pcs will return to the dungeon they'd visited at level 1 after gaining 3-4 levels. Naturally, all of the walls will still have the same level I've set in the beginning.</blockquote>
