That's why, at any given level, a given DC might be "average": you need an average check to make it.However, climbing up Fort Crapaud's wooden walls gets massively easier as you level. Fort Crapaud's walls don't become higher in DC (unless someone renovates the fort); rather, the fort's DC becomes an easier-rated check. The scaling is in terms of what kinds of challenges the DM throws at you. This isn't to say that you shouldn't be climbing ratty wooden walls when you're paragon or epic, but rather that they're not challenging enough to merit being considered an encounter; you're up and over the walls of Fort Crapaud and on to the real challenges inside.</blockquote>
