[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 1874188, member: 3586"] I've recently realised that Wizards have actually done some very subtle* things with their setting of DCs for various tasks. A DC of 15 for Tumble is easily attainable - a DC of 25 is less so. However, a DC of 15 is sufficient for most uses of the skill. Thus, a high-level character who doesn't want to devote [i]all[/i] of his skill points to the skill can diversify without losing total effectiveness. Similar points apply to Concentration and Spellcraft. There are higher-level uses, but you can decide "that's the level that I want" and then go and concentrate on something else. I rather like that feature of D&D 3e - you can get benefits out of skills without needing to commit to them for "life". (*subtle to me; I might just be blind ;)) Cheers! [/QUOTE]
