Failures And Successes

Critical success

A critical success is accomplished by rolling 1s on all dice involved in the roll. This means everything you do in this roll exceeds expectations and you accomplish more than you could have dreamed of and/or hoped for.

Spectacular success

A spectacular success is accomplished by rolling less than both Stat and Skill (and anything else applicable). You pass with flying colours and manage to do what you set out to do, even with a little flair.

Apt success

An apt success is accomplished by rolling less than your Skill but not less than your Stat. You succeed on routine because you have training, but nothing showy.

Bare success

A bare success is accomplished by rolling less than your Stat but not less than your Skill. You get by on pure talent this time, but a bare success is a very close call.

Failure

A failure is accomplished by rolling over both your Stat and Skill. Everything just goes wrong.

Critical failure

A critical failure is accomplished by rolling 8s on all dice involved in the roll. This means everything you do fails spectacularly and utterly, and has consequences that far exceed what you fear the most.
