While this is good in that PCs will be able to be more reliable with thier skills, it also means the higher DCs will be statistically harder to get. So, as a GM I need to ensure my encounter design provides an opportunity for critical successes and yet cuts down on the difficutly of 'need to have happen' checks.I do like the significant change between untrained and trained. I think this is better than the D20 + 5 rule in emulating the reliability of a trained character being better...and that alone might sell me on this system.For skill challenges, I use Stalker0's Obsidian, so a critical success is easily accounted for with the simple rules of  'For each 10 points you beat the target number, you gain an additional success'.Any ideas/sugestions on how to handle critical successes in normal skill checks?</blockquote>
