Thread: Degrees of Success

    Degrees of Success

    The Player's and the Narrator's books have different degrees of success. Which one is the "real" version?

    IIRC....

    Extraordindary 11 or higher
    Superior 6-10
    Complete 1-5
    Marginal =
    Failure -1 to -5
    Complete Failure -6 to -10
    Disastrous Failure -11 or less


    EDIT:
    The above is found on page 220 in the LOTR CRB and 81 of the Narrator's Guide.

    In the PG, it states Complete Failure is -5 to -9 and Disastrous Failure is -10 or lower.

    I think the NG and LOTR CRB are correct.

    I'll double-check tonight when I get home to my books. If you could cite some page references so I can jot it down in an errata list, it would be great.

    GandalfofBorg is correct; use the table from the Narrator's Guide. The table in the Player's Guide will be corrected in the next round of errata.

    Some sort of random text about the need for proper lavatories if Bolians are on board or something, I heard.

    Aha, that's not really what I meant, but thanks anyway. I wanted to know what chart they used for the Narrator's Screens of Trek and LotRs.

    The Trek Narrator's Screen uses the correct chart from the Narrator's Guide. Not sure of the LotR screen as I do not have it. The chart in the LotR Corebook (p.220) jives with that of the Trek NG.
