There are several things I dislike about 4e, but the one I find the most detestable is the concept of DC's that simply scale with the user's level. If you've got a caster of above-average strength (for a normal person) who sometimes impresses villagers by competing in arm-wrestling contests, they shouldn't become worse and worse at it simply because their muscles aren't getting bigger. Can't the DC scale with some measure of the level or value of the people being influenced? Please? --[[User:Foxwarrior|Foxwarrior]] 09:18, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

"Skill" Challenge

I'm thinking about implementing a more complex skill challenge-type version of this now that we have fairly standardized DCs (one where the math actually WORKS), but I'd like to first discuss design goals if anyone's free. (Here or on the channel.) --Ghostwheel 12:30, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Scaling DC's

There are several things I dislike about 4e, but the one I find the most detestable is the concept of DC's that simply scale with the user's level. If you've got a caster of above-average strength (for a normal person) who sometimes impresses villagers by competing in arm-wrestling contests, they shouldn't become worse and worse at it simply because their muscles aren't getting bigger. Can't the DC scale with some measure of the level or value of the people being influenced? Please? --Foxwarrior 09:18, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
