I know there is a guideline in the book already and probably some house rules floating around, but I had this thought recently, and so far I think it could work well.
What do you think?
When making Extended Tests, you can make a number of rolls equal to half your Rating in the Skill (round up) plus two. If the Threshold isn't met after these rolls, you failed and have to start over.
Using the full Skill Rating (as opposed to the Dice Pool as normal) as the cap was my first idea (as with many others apparantly), but that seems too harsh for low Skill Ratings (or those with a Rating of 0), hence the half Rating + fixed number approach.
