A Target Number of 10 could be useful for unknown factors (Like trying to understand a esoteric anomaly) or for contests (like trying to shoot someone that's moving) Meanwhile, the the extremes, Desperate (1) is good for difficult checks, like trying to hack a computer during a fight or escape...

I recently formalized a D&D session I made in college for a Pop-Culture Club. Four groups of players raid a castle to defeat an evil demi-god, each with a different entrance and a different goal. They key is interactions: players between groups are constantly interacting with one another...
