But the target number for initiation quest is twice desired grade
rating!

And around grade 4 rating 10 quests are pretty repeatable.
The cutoff comes at rating 12, 12's being 3 times rarer on the dice
that 10's. given the likely amount of dice for the rolls (average 10 -
12 or so) even for very high grade magicians 12's are just not
common, ok karma helps staggeringly but.
Roleplayed is a different story, but then FASA's example is HB! thats
rated at rating 15! though it is on beyond beyond the citadel and
multiple people as well.
