Taking a closer look at this and was thinking at work today about a couple of modifications:
- Maybe the rolls should be 6 + whatever mod, but this really just delays things by a step. Probably not the way to go.
How about
:
- the bonus of roll/5 includes any bonus used and should be rounded up. This will help a bit. So a roll of 13 with a +3 bonus would be +4 (16/5 round up) leading to a +7 on the next roll if this one failed.
- On a successful roll any built up bonuses are used, but
this roll still adds a bonus. So on the above if it succeeded you'd still get the +4 on the next.
- Your very first roll on each thing after character creation is against a 10, just to get that first boost.
And how about
:
A second kind of roll for experience rather than study - flat, no bonus, auto succeeds on 17-18. On a failed roll, the point is not gone - you get to roll on something else. As long as you fail you can continue to roll, but only once per skill,attribute/advantage, ect. At any point you can choose to apply it as the normal roll (as above) on something you've tried for already.
Just kicking around some ideas....
