[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 4429677, member: 5889"] This is the first real report of problems with the system, so I'm glad you posted. For your group, I think a -1 to the DC could be a fine idea. If your group really doesn't have many skills they are truly good at, then its fine to lower the DC. As for suggestions, I understand your parties feelings about roleplaying vs a mechanical challenge. It may simply be that the mule scenario is too "mundane" a challenge for the party to enjoy a skill challenge at. One thing about my system is, with the 3 rounds, skill challenges are a "bigger deal" than it is the in normal system. So you may find that in scenarios like this, you have the party roleplay it out. And for example, the next time they meet a shopkeeper, just let them roleplay with the shopkeeper. But you might try a skill challenge for the bigger stakes, like negotiating with a noble. Every group has a threshold for what they consider is worthy of a challenge, and your group may simply have a higher threshold than others. [/QUOTE]
