I think the other things to consider about his oopsie die roll is that if
you succeed at the test, but you get a one on the oopsie die, you succeed
but something bad happens. And if you get a success on the oopsie die, it
could mean that there's something exceptional about the success that you
have. Adds a bit more range of chaos in general, imho.
