Hrm. Well, I've not played it, but I had assumed that success
Threshhold could be altered. Regardless, that sort of imperfect
information is not my style. I'm always clear about the TNs and so
forth, even when it reveals information like you mention. It promotes
rules knowledge and OOC discussion of IC reality. Your method is
valid, but it can mystify new players, and some GMs might use the
hidden mechanic to railroad the players into failing when they
shouldn't. That's just my observation, though.
