[QUOTE="Blackbrrd, post: 6180997, member: 63962"] Issues I think we have identified with the current skill challenges/skills in 4e are as follows: - Skills are very stat dependant (more so than anything to do with combat) - Some classes have a very limited number of useful skills - Metaing skill challenges without a built in timer of some sort makes it so only the best PC in a party should roll for a certain skill check - Skill challenges easily become a simple, boring mini-game within the game with nowhere of the complexity of a combat - More or less binary outcome - Skill challenges as an encounter Not sure on how to fix any of these issues, maybe the best way would be to drop the: "instead of a combat encounter you can create a skill challenge encounter". As I mentioned earlier, I think skill challenges should have a broader scope where you have several goals you can accomplish and not be tied to a single encounter. [/QUOTE]
