[QUOTE="jbear, post: 5307234, member: 75065"] I like the new DC scale of 8 Easy 12 Medium 19 Hard. It seems more like it. What i dislike is the progression is totally impossible to remember off the top of your head. The difficulty is changing on the chart in a totally unpredictable way. I'm hoping that is because these have been semi-guessed, but I imgine they are guesses based on what the OP has observed in those photos of the essentials materials. I don't like having to look anything up during a game session besides my encounter notes. I like to make rulings on DCs on the fly depending on what my players throw at me. This seems like it will far more difficult to do that accurately without consulting your DM Screen. Is there some obvious or important math reason that the DCs dont progress uniformly, and by uniformly I mean, if Hard Becomes 21 at level 3 then why do medium and easy remain the same at that level?
