Sometimes in the past I have bemoaned the lack of a Tk2k/DC mailinglist, so
now I'll take advantage of the opportunity:)
Slightly modified success/failure task system:
As it now stands, a roll ten or more over the modified asset is a
catastrophic failure *if* a new roll against the modified asset fails. On the
other hand, any roll of ten or more below the modified asset is an outstanding
success.
This means that if you have an asset of more than 10, you'll never suffer
a catastrophic failure, and if you have less than 10, you'll never get a
outstanding success, a state of affairs that I wasn't satisfied with.
The modification is to allow a 1 or a 20 to stand in for the ten or more
above/below roll, and at the same time hang a second roll after the 1:
A roll of ten or more below the modified asset is an outstanding success.
If the modified asset is lower than 10, a roll of 1 is an outstanding
success *if* a new roll against the modified asset yeilds a success.
A roll of ten or more above the modified asset (or a roll of 20, if the
modified asset is higher than 10) is a catastrophic failure *if* a new roll
against the modified asset fails.
[I planned to hang a list of probabilities here for the standard and
modified system, but it looks like I left it at home. I'll try to send it
in before TML goes out tonight:)]
