[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8486933, member: 82106"] My 4e hack has degrees of success. There are actually 3 levels, 'success' is just nominal. If you roll 5+ the DV, then you get 'complete success'. If you paid a power point when you invoked the power, then you get to move your successes up a rank (failure is still failure in this case). Complete Success now becomes 'enhanced success', and you can apply a 'kicker' if you have one (they are pretty common). 4e actually leaned on degrees of success pretty consistently too. It wasn't used with attacks (maybe there is a power somewhere that implements it as a special rule, I don't recall) but rituals for example, OFTEN have it coded into them. Likewise a lot of skill checks have degrees of success. Knowledge, including Monster Knowledge work on a sliding scale. You compare your check result with the monster knowledge check rule, and with the lore entries in the MM and that tells you which facts you know. I'd note that these DCs are also situational and might be different for a different PC, as it is quite possible for some knowledge to be commonly known to Paladins of Atur, but not to the Rogue League.
