[Pyramid #3/66] Safe Thresholds for Ritual Symbols

At the high end (skill 19+), Safe Threshold is exactly what you'd get if you rolled a 12 over the course of 10 accumulation rolls, so you'll want to stick with that - although with only suffering a -1 per 5 attempts, the point where this becomes the rule is right around skill 17. Things are going to be a lot more complicated at lower skill, but for skill 17+ our assumption works out to right around +1 to skill, so having this be the case for lower skills shouldn't break anything. Just use the Safe Threshold table as-is, applying a +1 to effective skill level for using Ritual Symbols.
