Half the time I don't even bother with a solid TN, especially if it's in
cases where there's no easy number to use. With things like opposed
tests, combat, magic or decking, it's easy because the TN is quick to
find. But for stuff like Perception tests, often I'll just have the
player roll the dice and if I like the roll, I'll tell them what they see.

They'll learn :)
