(by increasing DCs)Also, if they do hit the failure number, this should never lead to a pass/fail for the challenge.  Instead, it should lead to a new obstacle/complication to deal with, not a "You Failed.Game Over".This leads to an expectation from my group that if they succeed a skill challenge with no failure, its a high five moment, because they beat the odds.  Not a ho-hum, we won.(Just like a TPK in combat would never lead to a game over.  I just don't run games that way.  It would most likely lead to the BBEG's dungeon of doom escape session)</blockquote>
