Sometimes yes I ask people to roll. Sometimes they augment with one ability sometimes not, depending on what we are looking for. All I am saying is that I don't bother remembering all the things folk augment with when I am writing up a game log, saga style or otherwise.

Not at all. The rule is only if its 'fun to do so', if you as the GM have a 'bang' to throw in at a critical moment. In fact the rules even empower you to let the hero succeed if its something no hero would fail at (competence level of the hero factored in).
A GM may even allow the player to narrate,
"yes, I know it is quite difficult to get out of Pavis and into the Rubble with that many Lunars looking for me, but since you've I have a vague idea how to do it and no-one really cares, shall we say it worked, and get on with the story"?
