It's also interesting how they've portioned out "mixed success" style outcomes into two splits. A Success with Fear is a Cost or Complication, a Failure with Hope means you don't get what you wanted but things aren't as bad as they could be - I see this as almost the "lesser success" part of most 2d6 outcomes where like "you make the jump but you lose your footing and are now hanging on by the tips of your fingers"; or "you dive forward to tackle him, but he scrambles backwards frantically yelling "guards! guards!" You can still recover, maybe - but the situation is more complex now. On a Success with Fear for those two, maybe I'd say "yeah you make the jump, after just barely scrabbling your way up (it was further then you thought!), mark a stress from the effort (cost)" or "yeah you dive forward and tackle him, but he's like elbowing you and squirming and you make a bunch of noise tumbling into furniture - the rest of you hear a muffled "M'lord duke? Everything ok?" from outside (complication)."</blockquote>
