[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 6178098, member: 336"] Yes, this is a matter of presentation and the horribly bad advice/examples on DMG1. Every "published" skill challenge has had that problem because the underlying presentation, the one the DM must do at a table, is not the overt on the page presentation. DMs have not had good advice on that play presentation. The on the page presentation is the framework. The underlying play of the skill challenge is what WotC never got a clear picture on. Though they did do better with DMG2 and subsequently with the DM Kit they never seem to have gained the correct perspective that you see successful DMs talk about here. I agree and that is how I'm running skill challenges. But that last part (XP Rewards) is something skill challenges provided that did not exist before. 3.x had comments on ad-hoc rewards but it was just that a comment, and not even an example. [/QUOTE]
