Yes indeed
THe forum discussed ages ago (as in, before this table appeared) the idea of including 3 coloured dice in rolls of 4+ dice. Auto and critical success/failure based on those dice only. Might have been your idea Skarg? Anyway I like this as a really elegant mechanic. It kept failure and success rates constant as dice number varied, and also meant no tables needed to be consulted.
Elegant as it is, it doesn't work with the current mechanic where auto-failure gets more and more likely with dice. But maybe the 3 colored dice could still be used, exclusively for auto and critical success. That would keep auto success rates from varying as dice number varies, while allowing auto failure rates to increase according to the table
Will move to house rules for a further post
