If the first failure is presented as "you succeed, but..." then it makes a failure on the second roll more reasonable.<br /><br />It does seem that it would make a success on the second roll a bit vague though; would you treat that as a full success, or as a success-but result? Something else to ponder! thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566379.post-58451593646003356652018-12-14T15:37:40.608+00:002018-12-14T15:37:40.608+00:00That makes a sort of sense in the Heroclix context...That makes a sort of sense in the Heroclix context; it's not how the idea is presented in the two examples I've seen, but it could be explained that way.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566379.post-80003051901831339272018-12-14T06:06:16.655+00:002018-12-14T06:06:16.655+00:00Unless I'm misunderstanding, lots of games inv...Unless I'm misunderstanding, lots of games involve degrees of success /failure and many of those make one degree of failure mean 'you succeed, but...'<br /><br />I suspect that games where degrees of success/failure aren't a factor would struggle to make the first failure interesting. If you really screw up the role and have that mean something it might take the meaning and risk Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151421349574401246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566379.post-84413337842898330312018-12-14T01:16:29.120+00:002018-12-14T01:16:29.120+00:00Maybe the idea was that if you try again, you'...Maybe the idea was that if you try again, you're doing so when you're momentarily fatigued or off-balance, and so there's greater risk associated, and more likelihood something will go wrong. You try a hit them with an arrow, you miss, you try to rush a second shot, you might pull a muscle or your aim might be crap because you hurried.<br /><br />Admittedly, I'm basing this mostlyCalvinPitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815632086057048846noreply@blogger.com
