[QUOTE="Alex319, post: 4943010, member: 45678"] I'm not a mod, but it seems like this thread might be better suited to the House Rules forum. Question: What is your design goal with changing this system? You said that you want to "remove the DC's problem by level" but I'm not sure what that means. Is the problem that there's too much variability in players' skill modifiers at high level so that some players are almost certain to succeed while some are almost certain to fail. (If so, I'm a little surprised, as probably one of the most common complaints about the 4e skill system vis-a-vis 3.Xe was that 4e has too [I]little [/I]variability.) Is the problem that checks get too hard as players go up in level? Or too easy? If so it seems like just tweaking the DC chart would help - no need for a whole new syste. Stalker0's Obsidian Skill Challenge System (I don't have the link handy just search for it) has a DC chart that you can use and my understanding is he calcualted it so it scales with level appropriately.
