[QUOTE="Vartan, post: 5074765, member: 26155"] I know what you mean--it takes some time to open players up to the idea that a skill challenge isn't just a puzzle where you pick the right skills and roll well, but that there's a lot of room for player creativity. I've played a Rogue in LFR and found a way to work Streetwise into any urban skill challenge. From a design POV I think we're just scratching the surface of how DMs can use skill challenges to reveal and give structure to any non-combat element. I run an RP-heavy campaign in which the PCs are always looking for conflict on any scale: a skill challenge can apply to any situation in which something meaningful is at stake, and I'm only beginning to understand the extent to which that can be applied in-game. As a sidebar, I was really surprised to see a name I know pop up in response to one of my posts. I loved Dark Ages and The Book of Mirrors. In fact, I still revisit Book of Mirrors for ideas/advice/inspiration (most recently the section on "bluebooking"). [/QUOTE]
