compilation of house rules

[Thirsty Viking]

That wasn't the only issue,  somepeople were upset that Fumbles/attempts also increased across a range of numbers.  These people thought that as Dice increase...  the player is better at something, he should fumble less often.  While that can still be debated...  it is a much clearer issue than the one you seized upon in your reading of the thread.  

If you agree with those arguments,  the question becomes how can we introduce corrections without creating new failings of logic.

The only workable solution I could think of was a seperate FUMBLE ROLL on any failure.  Number of dice being based on the Original TN/2  IIRC,  also alowing the player to specify before the roll for success  dedicating some dice to fumble reduction (slow but sure method of working).  The sacrifice of my system is it requires a second roll,  or complex dice color adjustment on the 1 roll.   I prefer the 2nd roll method myself.  Players fail seldom enough in the Game I don't think this is too burdensome.

I didn't find the rules as they are written needed this tweaking,  but for those who do..  i think this is the best approach of the rules listed.
