[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5843861, member: 54877"] You could also say that attempts that require multiple dice are inherently more likely to have complications, due to their more involved nature. A master rolling is own dice is just as likely to get complications as a group of lesser beings scrounging for those same, necessary dice. And of course the master probably has a better chance of succeeding on his dice. That leaves the situation where the master fails the first of an easy check. Let's compare him to the untrained guy: Master rolls a 1--fails and gets complication. Same for untrained guy. Master gets to try again, if he wants, while untrained guy simply fails and gets the complication. Master tries again. He [B]might[/B] fail again and might pick up another complication. But this is in a situation where he is still hanging in there, while untrained guy is already hosed. And so on with the third roll. I wouldn't have any problem with that, because for a simple screw up, you only need to try, but for a major screw up, you have to think you know what your are doing. :D But for someone who didn't like that, it would be simple enough to say that a trained person using multiple dice for a series of rolls can only get a complication on the first roll, same as someone with less dice.
