Surely the whole point of having a skill system which incorporates modifiers for both ability scores and training is that it takes into account differences in both basic aptitude and proficiency. The DM shouldn't be having to change the DC based upon which character is making the check - the differences between different characters' chances of success at a task should be inherent in their skill check modifier. That's the whole point in having those modifiers.If those modifiers aren't doing that job properly, then the skill system is flawed. The solution should be to overhaul it, not to patch it over by modifying skill check difficulties on-the-fly to match perceptions of how easy it 'should' be for one character compared to another.</blockquote>
