I am currently toying with an idea for an adventure; what the adventure entails is that a group of treasure hunters (the PCs) have been retired for about 10 to 20 years and they are coming back out of retirement. I have not decided why, but they are. Anyway, the problem I'm having is that I want to simulate that they haven't used their skills for a long time and are therefore fairly rusty. This is not really something supported with present rules and so I want to figure something out.So far I've toyed with increasing DC's and applying negative modifiers to rolls, but I don't know if this will be sufficient and I don't know what the modifiers should be. The adventure will be written for a group of four to six adventures of either 10th to 12th or 15th to 16th level.My other question is what skills and such should be affected? Should I apply the modifiers to all skills, attacks, saving throws and initiatives or not? Any help will be greatly appreciated, and if more info is needed from me, please ask away.EDIT: Oh yes, how long is long enough to apply these modifiers? The whole adventure? A few game nights? Also, I intend to compensate for the decreased power of the group... slightly.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></blockquote>
