[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7795378, member: 6779196"] I imagine it would result in a lot of arguments like the one about Mr Flip :LOL: No, he either rolls equal to or higher than the DC and does 10 flips, or he rolls below the DC and does not do 10 flips, and also suffers the consequence, which in this case I decided was falling prone. That’s binary. I don’t really care if he does 0-9 flips, that’s not what the check was being made to determine. I’m not really sure what you mean by “degrees of success often impacts the DC of the next action they take,” and if the consequences of doing 1-9 flips is purely narrative, I don’t see a need to resolve it by means of an ability check. I am making some assumptions about the context surrounding this action, but I don’t imagine I would call for a Wisdom (Perception) check to resolve it. More likely, I would call for a Dexterity (Stealth) check against the conspirators’ passive Wisdom (Perception). On a success, you hear their conversation and they do not hear you, on a failure they do, and come to investigate. [/QUOTE]
