[QUOTE="ValhallaGH, post: 4390028, member: 41187"] When success or failure is entirely up to the result of a (probably) random die roll, how does that show that your character is special? Take savingthrows as an example. 55% chance of success. So, how many rounds have you had a character stand around stunned because they failed to save? I've had my Paladin stand around for 7 rounds, and watched other characters be affected for up to 6 rounds. This sort of ridiculousness seems to happen about 1/3 of the time for me and the people I play with. So, how would adding "insane" DCs make the game better? How does requiring my Human Wizard (with a +11 to all Int-based knowledges) to roll better than a 4 on a knowledge (which he's done three times in his whole four level career) make the encounter more heroic? How would it make encounters better? I am genuinely curious. I don't understand but I would like to. Please share any insights you can. [/QUOTE]
