 Its a roll of 0 that is a fail, not a 1(The game lists things as a 0-9 instead of 1-10). Let me haul out the bit I need to check to determine how you fail(since failing does not automatically mean you actually fail(Fun, innit?))

-edit-

Allright, I need you to roll a difficult determination check. If you pass then you can retry that turning point.

That's classic pen and paper RPG's for you.

"Now you failed, let's roll for the level of catastrophe.

...Give me another roll on the targeting body parts table.

Head? Apparently you died in character creation. Begin the process again."

 Yep. Can you roll me a difficult determination check?

Just for the record, it does state multiple times that a fumble is actually a one in the book. Aseaheru should really make it more clear that he is changing it :-/.

*Edit*

In fact, the game lists everything from 1-10, so I have no idea why he is saying otherwise :-/.

OK, my head hurts, what numbers would I roll here? Just a straight 1d10? What modifiers? I'm pretty sure I figured out the target, but that's all. I can't find what I have to roll or add to the roll.

I think it might have been a typo? I don't know why you would roll a d10, but only use 0-9...?

Alright, I actually found the golden ratio. I think!

1d10 + skill level + attributes/4 is what determines all skill checks...right?

if it is, I rolled a 8 (4+plus my attribute), or maybe it's actually a seven, either way it's a :P Fail.

GM says its 0-9, so its 0-9 :P.

Fixed?

1d10 - 1 + skill level + attributes/4

:P

That would give the same result I guess :P. On a physical die, a 10 just shows up as a 0, so he wants us to treat that as a fumble.

No. It increases the chances of failure: if you want to roll a 2, normally you'd only fail with a 1 while this way you can fail with 1 or 0; likewise, if your target was 9 you could succeed with a 9 or a 0, but like this only the nine will do. Frankly, I don't like that rule...

Can we just use 1d10 straight, with 1 as a fumble...is confusing.

This game was written in an era when they only had physical dice to play games with. :P *Garrosh* Times change.

That changes the chances of failure. 1d10-1 and 0-9 have the same chances though, which is what I was saying.

Wonderfully put: if that rule is being correctly interpretated, then the game effectively uses 1d10-1 as its main die.

Rolled for everything. Seems I'm set for being brawny, but education was, in fact, not something taken as a priority, and I'm ugly as sin; what does Education actually do?
