I just assume the NPC is taking 10 on his check, add his modifier, and that's the DC. I don't add +5 to the DC as difficulties go up. I just leave that to the modifiers the NPCs have. And yes, it does make the game go a bit faster and smoother since the player just rolls and I check the target. I also think we get less extreme results - like the NPC rolling a 1 and the PC rolling a 20 on opposed stat challenges (like the tug of war style of example). The PC could still get an impressive 20 on their roll, but the giant/ogre isn't being such a pushover that a halfling with an average roll could beat him.</p></blockquote><p></p>
