[QUOTE="Anaxander, post: 6868510, member: 25878"] Well, it depends on what you're aiming for. If you want to have generally binary outcomes with sometimes an additional effect this is an easy implementation. The fighter in full plate with Dex 10 still won't make his Acrobatics check, but at least he gets *something* when he rolls well. Conversely, the rogue with Dex 20 continues to beat simple DCs, but at least his successes are complicated when he rolls badly. If you want to have additional outcomes in 50% of the cases you could rule that you gain a boon/opportunity if you fail and roll uneven on a d20 and that you gain a threat/complication if you succeed and roll uneven. If you want to decrease their occurrence you could simply rule that they happen at (a) fixed number(s). For example, you gain a boon/opportunity when you fail and roll a 5 on a d20, and you gain a threat/complication if you succeed and roll a 15. If you want to make this more complex you could set ranges of boons and threats at set numbers. [/QUOTE]
