As others have said, for each skill there is a list of example skill DCs based on various tasks. Some Skill DCs are fixed, like needing a 15 to Treat Wounds.Other skill DCs are tied to level - the level of an item, the skill DC of an adversary, that sort of thing. So it's a lot easier to Trip a guy who is 3 or 4 levels lower than you are, and harder against a guy who is higher level than you are. There's a lot more nuance than that, but that's the gist.You still need the DM to give you the DC. Even if you think you can swim across a pond at DC10, you might find some surprises once you get started. The DM is there to help adjust any static of example DCs, depending on the situation.I bet you really don't like "secret checks".</blockquote>
