Bonus Successes and Shortfall
Texto
Sometimes it is important to know the amount by which a character succeeded at a task (or the extent of their failure). While success and failure are sometimes all-or-nothing, at other times, the degree of one’s success or failure is relevant. Successes in excess of the target number of successes (bonus successes) might help the character succeed more thoroughly. On the other hand, if the character fails, the amount by which they fell short of the target number of successes (their shortfall) can reveal the depths of their failure.
Determining Bonus Successes
If a character succeeds on a check, their bonus successes are the number of and symbols in excess of the target number of successes for the check.
Determining Shortfall
If a character fails a check, their shortfall is the TN of the check minus the sum of their and symbols.
