[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8771865, member: 6987520"] It is immaterial to the discussion. The task is "difficult" (whatever that means to you) and the PC is "good" at it (again, whatever "good" means to you). Opposed checks don't matter. Armor Class is really an opposed check, but assumed the defended always rolls 10 (near average). If hitting off of a pitcher is "difficult", then that is the task. Hitting a pitch is difficult IMO, even professional players strike out. (Now, I mean actually hitting, not actually getting on base). If making a pass at a certain distance is "difficult", then that is the task. If you look at passer success rates, the chances go down with the longer the pass attempt. This would be a change in the DC. Each 10 yards might be DC 5 more. (0-10 DC 5; 11-20 DC 10; etc.) He isn't just "good" at the task--he is excellent, probably one of the best. In 5E terms, I would imagine he is probably around +13 or even higher. If you consider [I]THAT[/I] being just "good", then no wonder you might think 65% or higher. [/QUOTE]
