[QUOTE="Wik, post: 4963123, member: 40177"] See, I find the opposite. I find it sets up a situation in the GM's head, and forces players to adhere to it. And it rewards "I aid another", turning everyone into a support group for one PC. Granted, I ran a few "skill challenges" in my campaign, but they were more like traditional skill uses than any sort of planned "challenge". the few times I ran them, they turned into Die-Rolling fiascos. The best time I've seen them used was by Blargney here, during an Urban string of encounters, with a skill challenge in between the fights. I didn't even realize there was a skill challenge going on, until I started noticing he was consulting the DMG. Personally, though, the "by the book" challenges always left me a bit flat, and seemed like exercises of d20. Your mileage may vary, and all that jazz. [/QUOTE]
