[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 4841736, member: 7006"] Well in this game matters are made even worse, inasmuch as that I gave everyone three skills to choose from. Thus, most of these checks have at least half the players able to find at least one of the skills that they have trained. So with the group needing to make 3 of 5... and 3 of those players have a skill that's up around the +10s... the odds in this particular skill challenge lean [I]heavily[/I] in the group's favor, [I]even if[/I] some of the skills have a DC of 15. This particular check is the only one in the challenge where only two of the six of you are trained in a skill, which means this [I]might[/I] be the only one you have an actual chance to fail. But even if you do... the subsequent checks will go back to having options like Athletics, Endurance, and Stealth... which means most of you will find yourselves trained. I'm not going to change the DCs for this challenge... but I definitely know that if there are any subsequent challenges, I'm going to move the DCs to 10/15/20. Because even a fully trained/correctly attributed character should have a 50/50 chance to fail a Hard skill check, otherwise there's no point in doing them. *EDIT* Although to be fair... most of your characters are all statted out to be really good at this style of skill challenge (outdoorsy, physically based). So I really can't complain, since I chose you all after all. :) But if by some chance you ever find yourselves in a [I]social[/I] skill challenge... that's when it'll get interesting! Cause then Dorn will be all over it... but the rest of you would find yourselves potentially up the creek as it were. [size="1"](Hmm... where can I insert a social skill challenge?
