So I was re-reading the section on edge in the BBB, specifically the section on Burning Edge, and I noticed this.
QUOTE Automatically achieve a critical success on one action. The character must be capable of carrying out the action—you can’t buy a critical success for something you have no hope of achieving. What is a critical success? I don't think I've every seen it defined or stated anywhere else. Is it just an automatic success on what ever action you're doing? If so, do you just consider all the dice to be successes? |
