[QUOTE="fba827, post: 4943473, member: 807"] The majority of our skill challenge rewards/failures are for bonuses/penalties in story. our skill challenges don't usually lead to combats on a failure. And the players are okay with it because we run story-heavy campaigns. some examples i can think of off the top of my head (in over-simplified form) Success=find out about an enemy weakness Failure=the later fight against said enemy was harder because they didn't know the weakness Success=got a ritual book (that they weren't expecting, they thought success=they got to live, so the ritual book was a little boon on top of being able to walk away from the dragon still breathing) Failure=the dragon would not help them in a certain future situation that the pcs don't know about yet success=the king tolerates them failure=kicked out and won't listen or send aid for the situation success=get past the guards failure=can't get in through the gate and have to find another much more difficult way in and so on ...
