Degrees of Success
I kind of feel like this is a crazy question to be asking this late into me playing this game (as our campaign is a few years old), but it's come up again as I prep for my session on Friday and I'd like to hear what you all think:
As I was preparing for my session by reading over all of the Psionic abilities, they all make reference to results that are either (a) marginal, (b) complete, or (c) extraordinary.
And if you look at the 'Degree of Success' chart on p. 104 in the PG those are the only possibilities.
0-4 above the TN is a MARGINAL SUCCESS
5-9 above the TN is a COMPLETE SUCCESS
10+ above the TN is an EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS
However, the way we've been doing things is the way shown on p. 81 of the NG (which is what we're used to from playing years of Lord of the Rings).
Neither chart seems to have been corrected in the various Errata, so which one is correct?
