I think the key to keep simple contests from be unforgiving is to not make it a single roll, giving the player an opportunity to use any augmentations.

BTW, anyone know (and able to tell) if equipment is getting changed over to ratings (as opposed to just being edges)? At first when it was mentioned, I was against it, but on further consideration, I can see how it makes using equipment in simple contests a bit smother (it's just another augment). Just curious.
