    Isn’t that right foot easy stuff? Skilled characters also see harder challenges, disarming a dc20 trap for example

    Why should they fail to tie a simple knot on a +5, dc5 use rope check 1 in 20 times?

      Sorry, don’t know if I understand what you mean with that.

      Why should they fail to tie a simple knot on a +5, dc5 use rope check 1 in 20 times?

      Why should they roll for something as simple as tieing a simple knot? I don’t make my players roll whether they manage to tie their shoes either.

        A simple knot like the bowline you’d tie around a sturdy tree before descending by rope into a hole

        That’s exactly the sort of thing a DM would set as DC10

          If your skill level would guarantee a win if you ignore the concept of a natural 1 auto-failing, then there should be no roll.
