Default Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.

The DC to notice a sound at all should increase with either the log or the square root of the distance, or maybe even the log of the square root since I think that's how decibels decrease with distance. The DC to pinpoint the source location should increase a whole lot faster, though. The DC to hear thunder might reasonably be -10 a mile away, but no one could possibly pinpoint the exact 5 ft square the lightning bolt hit from that distance, so a flat +20 modifier to the DC to make it DC 10 makes no sense.
