[QUOTE="Velderan, post: 9217350, member: 7038056"] Slightly different situation, but I'm currently running PF2e with it's 4 degrees of success to resolve actions (crit success, success, fail, crit fail). There are spells that the only way a target can have no effect happen to them is on a critical success. For example, the spell [URL='https://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=110']fear[/URL] has no effect on a crit success save, the target is frightened 1 on a success, frightened 2 on a fail, frightened 3 and must flee on a crit fail. Why am I mentioning this? Because the most common results are a success and a fail, so [I]something [/I]happens and the player reaction has shifted from being happy they landed a frightened 1 effect to being disappointed that's all that happened but at least they don't feel like they wasted their turn because again, [I]something[/I] happened. That's what MCDM RPG sounds like to me. You rolled snake eyes? That sucks and you're going to be disappointed, but at least you moved the enemy's HP a bit and it wasn't a completely wasted turn.
