Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steampunkette" data-source="post: 8276943" data-attributes="member: 6796468">... see... this makes me want to houserule up a simple system to get rid of "Abject Failure" except in extreme cases.Like... Instead of it being a table for rolls, make it a table for roll totals, even in combat.Roll a total of X and do not beat the Social DC:1-10: You fail. Or you get the information/assistance from someone who is actively working against your interests.11-14: You succeed, but have aggravated your target and their disposition toward you shifts one step toward the negative.15+: You succeed, but the information you've gained is partial or misleading, or the assistance is half-assed.Roll a total of X and do not beat the Exploration DC:1-10: You fail. Or you succeed and lose 1d4 hit dice or supply in the process and increase the difficulty of others accomplishing the same task by 2.11-14: You succeed at the cost of 1hd, but your mistakes make it harder on everyone else, the DC for others to complete the same task is increased by 2.15+: You succeed, but your mistakes make it harder on everyone else. The DC increases by 2.Roll a total of X and do not beat the target's AC:1-10: You fail. Or you succeed in hitting your target, but you only do 1 damage and provide advantage against the next attack against you.11-14: You hit the target and deal your relevant attribute modifier in damage. The target focuses their next attack on you in retaliation.15+: You hit the target and deal your relevant attribute modifier in damage.</blockquote>
