So this past week I ended up posting a couple blogs about Skill Challenges.  I've been noticing that my players never fail them, and started wondering why. 

After digging into the problem statistically, I figured out that under the current skill system with the wide range of skill bonuses available, and using the Skill DCs from the Rules Compendium, I determined that Skill Challenges cannot be failed by most well-rounded parties.  Now obviously, you can always cause a party to fail by forcing them into a challenge that using only their weakest skills, but it'd be a pretty strange skill challenge if no one had the primary skills trained and at a good skill rating.

So arfter taking a look at the problem, I worked on some solutions to try and make skill challenges more difficult,
