Quick Reference Tables for DMs
Large-scale Action
When doing things at a large scale, players can pool their efforts and produce large-scale results with less effort than performing the action individually many times over.
For example, one might make a DC 10 cooking check to prepare a meal but when preparing meals for six, six DC 10 checks (or DC 60) would vastly overrepresent the added difficulty. Instead, increasing the DC by 1.5 for each additional portion is more appropriate; preparing a good meal for six without assistance would be hard but not impossible.
Where an exceptionally good result is possible, the DC for exceptional results is 10 + 2 per portion.
| Portions | Fair Result | Exceptional Result |
|---|---|---|
| 10 Servings | DC 23 | DC 28 |
| 13 Servings | DC 28 | DC 34 |
| 25 Servings | DC 46 | DC 58 |
| 38 Servings | DC 67 | DC 84 |
| 50 Servings | DC 83 | DC 108 |
| 100 Servings | DC 158 | DC 208 |
