SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

How can you have trouble calculating success rate when it's percentages? O_o. Unless I missed something, then I apologise.

Btw - I simplified the 1e Strength and Toughness rolls a little in this spirit, by just asking PCs to roll 1d10 since it's always a decimal number anyway. So the pools can work, but..why bother?
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

I think his issue was with degrees of success, not success rates.

Ah, stupid me.

I've recently came across a set of house rules as follows - when you fail a skill check in WFRP, outside of combat, it's not hit & miss - you still succeeded, but not in a "spectacular" manner, or you might need more time/work to succeed.

Easy fix via Harn:

Roll under stat - Success
Roll under stat that ends in a 5 or 0 - Critical Success
Roll over stat - Failure
Roll over stat that ends in a 5 or 0 - Critical Failure


Not that I've ever found "degrees of success" actually necessary in Warhammer....
