[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7968369, member: 177"] So, for this, we can look at the old FASERIP Marvel Superheroes game. The game had rankings. They were not strictly doubling, but they did have basically this feature: If a target/task was rated two ranks below you, you did it automatically. If it was two ranks above you, it was impossible. From there, the game had green, yellow, and red levels of success. If a thing was one rank below you, you needed to achieve just a green success to beat it. If it was equal to you, you needed a yellow success, if it was a rank above you, you needed a red success. So, the Hulk had an Unearthly strength. The Thing from the Fantastic Four had a Monstrous strength. By your system, the Thing could [I]never[/I] beat the Hulk in an arm wrestle. In this system, the Hulk would usually win, but the Thing could dig down deep and win every once in a while. And, it could take some time to resolve - the Hulk is stronger, sure, but you could have a round or two where there was not one clear winner. [/QUOTE]
