I considered the same idea, except using the degree of success/5. Therefore, roll 2 on an ability of 17 makes 15 success, +6 Edge/+3 Bonus. So you still roll low. And for masteries, just treat each as another 20 success. However, I did think this a bit easy, as after 20 ability you get an automatic augment. Maybe a 20 is always a fail, even with masteries?
