Hi all
I tried something in our game last night. I think this only works
for simple contests, but look at the target number, roll the dice,
and then apply augments if it made a difference between
failiure/success/or critical. Cut down the adding up as well, and
you also get the feeling that individual abilities are making the
difference.
