[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5388433, member: 22779"] I think that's fair. To me, if the steps of a skill challenge are basically disconnected, there's no reward and it is spread across a number of other events in the game, it's not a skill challenge at all, but rather simply using skills as written. It's the 3e approach to how skills were used. Try X, succeed go on to Y, fail, and try something else until you succeed and proceed to Y. Each element is self contained. You pass through the locked door. Avoid the trapped floor. Open the locked chest. Bypass the trap on the chest. Get the treasure. That's not a skill challenge to me. That's just straight up skill checks. To me, a skill challenge is a defined challenge without an immediete solution. It's a challenge that requires various approaches to resolve, but, overall, it's more strongly defined that what I'm seeing you guys outline here. Not that that's a bad thing. Just now how I view skill challenges. [/QUOTE]
