[QUOTE="Rune, post: 5385495, member: 67"] Not what I'm suggesting. What I mean, is that your DM should (if unhappy with the way challenges have been feeling) be letting your in-game decisions dictate what your rolls will be. That is to say, you decide to do something based on the situation, the DM tells you what skill to roll to make it happen. You know, roleplay a little. The DM in this model uses your skills as a tool to resolve your decisions. If this is a style of play your DM wants to try, it will require player participation. You (plural) can't just look at your character sheet for the best applicable skill to roll next; you have to look at the situation described by the DM and find elements to work with, leaving the mechanics to your DM. Of course, if [i]you[/i] are not interested in this approach, none of the above applies, but, in this case, you should really have a good conversation with your DM, because it sounds as if the two of you are looking for entirely different things out of skill-challenges (and skill-use, in general).
