They seem a bit convoluted to me, but I confess I was reading them at 1 a.m.The whole skills going over 100% is confusing right now. I'm not sure how you make a check above 100% -again, late reading might be the problem.I understand how that can increase the chance for  heroes to score crits, but it just seems that they are going to succeed at everything they do, so in effect, at that skill level, you are only really rolling to see if there's a fumble or a crit.Is that correct?</blockquote>
