[QUOTE="Tai, post: 4896005, member: 84238"] One other thing skill challenges do that in someways is a bit controversial, but that I think is invaluable, is to turn plot-direction from annoying railroading into a trail of sweeties. In the old days, if you want the party to go check out a goblin mine, you drop a hint on their heads, and they know they have to go there. Now, you put in a skill challenge to find out about it and get there, and the party *wants* to go there. Not only has the mine become a more logical plot progresion, they even get XP for getting there! [/QUOTE]
