[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 5965335, member: 42582"] 4e gives me a chart of level-appropriate DCs, so I used that. To the best of my knowledge 3E doesn't have such a thing. This relates back to my comment in the OP about mechanics that support (i) "genre logic" narration, and (ii) a focus on the scene. 4e's approach to injury and healing is very liberal in this respect. 3E/PFs is not. In 4e I was able to describe the PC as suffering burns. The wizard cast Remove Affliction (using some Fundamental Ice as the material component) and the PC spent some weeks resting. In 3E/PF damage and healing are both more particularised. Cure X Wound spells are different from the various categories of Restoration spell, and then there is Heal, Regeneration etc. Plus there is a very wide range of conditions, with various possibilities for duration. If sticking your hands into a forge doesn't invoke these rules in some fashion or other, that doesn't seem right. But which ones should it invoke? I don't know that the rulebooks give especially clear guidance. [/QUOTE]
