It is quite an intriguing approach; I think in the long run its best use will be as another tool in the box for handling task resolution.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646247954542936623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370268061829710124.post-36770812248467468652008-08-08T09:25:00.000-05:002008-08-08T09:25:00.000-05:00I think generally these days—when ruling on all ki...I think generally these days—when ruling on all kinds of situations—I have a tendency to...<BR/><BR/>1. Not roll...just let the PCs succeed unless I think there is a significant chance of failure.<BR/><BR/>2. Give partial credit. For a “skilled” character, let a failed roll indicates not succeeding in the best way, but success nonetheless.<BR/><BR/>3. As you describe, Matthew, not letting a single roll mean total failure.
