Cover your tracks

Reduce or remove signs that you’ve passed this way. This may be done by finding and taking a route that makes tracking more difficult (e.g., through a stream, or over hard rocky terrain) or by actively covering your tracks. If your check exceeds the DC by 5 or more, anyone attempting to follow your tracks suffers an additional -2 penalty.

So what happens if you succeed but not by 5 or more? Or should this just be a hard DC? Maybe it is only a -1 penalty to track attempts.

We've found that many players don't realize how versatile some of the skills in 4e are. Providing some "outside of the box" examples should help stretch player's imaginations when participating in skill challenges. @Neuroglyph
