One of the things about HeroQuest I don't like are the names of the levels of difficulty. I also play a lot of fate based games which has a cool ladder of names:
Number Adjective
+8 Legendary
+7 Epic
+6 Fantastic
+5 Superb
+4 Great
+3 Good
+2 Fair
+1 Average
0 Mediocre
-1 Poor
-2 Terrible
I've been trying to pick better names along these lines. Has anyone better names? Same goes for states of adversity in non-combat situations.
The names seem pretty good and you can probably map the various difficulty levels for onto them fairly easily. One problem I've found with non-combat states of adversity is that the description changes per contest - although this might be a failure of imagination.
Cheers,
Ash
