[QUOTE="Starfox, post: 9384164, member: 2303"] So, I tried this now in a Princess World game. Due to how the kingdom building works in that game, our tier 2 kingdom faced tier 0 (zero) adversaries. In ordinary BitD style, this would add two effect levels to every action, which means anything but a failure is likely to overrun the opposition. Instead, the PCs now had +2d on most actions - and the impact was much less. Sure, they were pretty secure. They are moderately experienced by now, so most actions were 5d or more. But you are not guaranteed a full success on 5d! The entire adventure became laid-back, I named it On Top of Things, and they were. There were little danger. Instead it as a session of letting the PCs enjoy the fruits of their labor while still being a good game session. So, the experiment worked out for easy things, making them more interesting. It will be exiting, and might not work as well, against more difficult challenges. What didn't really work out and won't work ut at all in the long run is the PCs constantly being 2 tiers higher than their environment, so that rule is changing.
