Specific Skill DCs

  • Craft Use a DC of the item's level, adjusted for rarity.

  • Earn Income Tasks The task level is typically the settlement's level, and its DC uses the task level. Typical levels: village 0–1, town 2–4, city 5–7.

  • Gather Information Set a simple DC based on the notoriety of the subject; adjust upward if the character seeks in-depth information.

  • Identify Magic or Learn a Spell Use the DC for the spell or item's level, adjusted by rarity; use the incredibly hard adjustment for cursed items.

  • Recall Knowledge Set a simple DC; if the character tries again for more knowledge, adjust the DC one step higher each time until they fail or attempt an incredibly hard check.

  • Sense Direction Pick a simple DC: trained in normal wilderness, expert in deep forest/underground, master or legendary in weird/surreal environments.

  • Social Skills Use Will DC if known; if not, improvise a level.

  • Track Select a simple DC, or a Survival DC if the quarry Covers Tracks.
