Taking a more closely matching example, forcing a stuck door open might be a L1SR vs. Strength in Classic or a Str (1) SR in Alpha.  They're both pretty easy even for beginners with middling strength, a cakewalk for anyone really strong, but they might slow a group down enough through failure to lead to an ambush or getting caught (or evaded0 in a pursuit.Whether Rebellion will get level scaling right or not I can't even guess, but the currently narrow TN and Attribute ranges aren't a great start.OTOH, you couldn't throw a L15SR vs. Anything at 1st level characters in Classic with hope of success either, which would be a rough equivalent to TN5 in Alpha.</blockquote>
