It just changes who does the math. It really doesn't solve the issue mentioned in the other thread, which has more to do with the breadth and applicability of any given skill or background. As an independent idea it has merit, though, since from my experience the DM is generally the best with dealing with numbers. The main issue would be that Hard, Easy, Formbidable, and the like aren't actually set DC's but ranges. While the granularity of the game could certainly work at Hard=DC 17 (or whatever the number is), and in many cases will, the corner cases where there might be a slightly harder task at DC 18 or 19 in the current setup wouldn't mesh well with your idea.</p></blockquote><p></p>
