That's not exactly true. What constitutes a Nearly Impossible, Very Hard, Hard, Moderate, etc difficulty is pretty straightforward.

FWIW, I don't actually use Pass/Fail, I use "gut feeling" resistence levels. Is this wall hard to climb or very hard to climb? Is this an elite fighter who might kill the heroes or just some foont to be slaughtered? Is this a key dramatic moment or just something I want to pass by quickly? As a Narrator, the system works like a dream.
