I have been pursuing creating PBR SSS skin shader for Poser quite recently using cycles as my root. Relying on Blender as a guide, I came across a couple of youtube tutorials which may shed some light on how to assemble such nodes. I hope that the links may help.

Unfortunately, there is some node work which is impossible in the current version of Poser. It would be nice to see improvements in those areas. My understanding of noise using SSS. that should clear up if you use higher render samples which will definitely increase render time. No way around it ATM. As for roughness, that is not exclusive to metals. It is applicable to dielectric material and skin as well. I wouldn't shy away from testing it with character textures.

Thank you for these! I've been adapting Blender Cycles stuff for a while too.. But it was brought to my attention that some people won't use anything with a Cycles Root because it renders too slowly. It's the opposite for me, but what can I do, such is the life of a vendor, must work around things to make sure the customers are pleased

Honestly I haven't noticed what the roughness texture even does. It feels to me like just bump.
