(it barely takes any planning)I see a stratagem as a strategic plan of action or composite of choices to achieve the task (see also strategy). Escaping I feel should be itself a task worthy of such a plan of action its potentially half of a full on rescue.I think what can be achieved via a skill challenge is as open ended as the DM and Players want I think.and one very definite thing they did was enable getting around a fight completely I assume you did not use them that way? The tools are there.And experience point rewards and the like to boot if you played with those. Additionally its the classic McGuffin activity where its telegraphed you cannot defeat enemy X without Y... the process of getting Y is not even optional to fighting the big bad. So yeah you might still get a fight.I expect playing without magic will remain 10 times as hard.</blockquote>
