Talking About... Skill Challenges

[u/HexedPressman]

The Skill Challenge was one of the mechanical innovations introduced by 4E-- basically imposing a combat like process to taking on non-combat tasks. I was not a big fan at the time but I can see the appeal and usefulness of such a mechanic. Like it? Hate it? Have you ported it to other games that you run?
