You could say "Eh, high numbers don't make something cool", and on the face of it, I agree, but then, what's the difference between DC 20 and DC 35? They're both high. What's the difference between the Lord of Blades, 20th level Warblade with Weapon Supremacy, and a Fighter 4 with Weapon Specialization? They're both good with swords. High level characters are awesome, because they do awesome things. That's what "a DC 120 Perform check" means: This is the Best Song in the World. Nothing short of "Let there be light" bears comparison with it, and it will be remembered in the City of Brass until the stars turn cold. The onus is, of course, on gamers to convey that in RP, and if there's no desire to consider what a result of "120" actually means in in-character terms, then of course, you're right. It's just an arbitrary, high number. But then you'd be better served playing E6, more likely. Kudos to trimeulose, and may you find the Song!
