In other words, which set of numbers does a person with an effective skill of 18 gathering for a long ritual roll against:

1) 18, 18, 18, 17, 17, 17, 16, 16, 16, 15, etc
or
2) 18, 18, 17, 17, 17, 16, 16, 16, 15, etc
or possibly even
3) 18, 18, 17, 17, 16, 16, 15, 15, etc

Just a little confused on the wording.
Door Number 2. You get the first 2 at no penalty, then the next 3 at -1, the next 3 at -2, and so forth. Personally, I'd be tempted to break the rules and go with number 1 just because it's a bit more consistent; technically that would give you a slightly higher Safe Threshold, but probably not enough to make a significant difference, particularly considering there's already some wiggle room with Thresholds. Option 3, however, is going to make RPMists much less powerful.
