I use DC 5 as my benchmark. The player feels respected and they understand that they need to try to retain stuff in the face of this minor risk of losing the piece of info. I also recommend hand-waving all combats that are not vital to the plot. So, if you're infiltrating the castle to thwart the BBEG, you condense all the infiltration into a skill challenge that requires everyone to contribute in some manner. Cleric casts silence, rogue does her thing with skills, fighter intimidates a maid into silence, and the wizard uses his knowledge of architecture to guide them through the castle layout. Presto! 20 minutes of game for several days worth of adventure.</blockquote>
