This is the variance in a single d20 roll. Even when trained, a character can still have 30-40% chance to fail at every task they attempt. If the bonus from training gets too high thougHmm, if taking 10 doesn't retun, then I think you should still be able to take 10 if you are trained in a skill. Though, I guess if we went with auto-success, then if you are trained you should auto-succeed if the DC is equal to your ability score ohttp://community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/thread/view/75882/29185719/New_skill_idea?post_id=520984395#520984395Hmm, if taking 10 doesn't retun, then I think you should still be able to take 10 if you are trained in a skill.
