Hello, first time posting in the new community. I am looking at games similar to Power by the Apocalypse or Forged in the Dark. Just to clarify:

-good roll = you fully succeed in your intended action

-average roll = minor success or an additional complication

-bad roll = usually a miss, and definitely bad consequences are happening.

Thanks!!

Ps trying the formatting options for a list but I cannot make it work :)

EDIT: I meant games apart than PbtA or FitD, thanks!--

Without knowing exactly the Starwars FFG system, the same problem (what complications to add for a roll) can be found in PbtA systems. There's an excellent guide that maybe can help although written originally for Dungeon World, to help finding consequences in the equivalent of a perception roll: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MC_W_qxY7kScRK_2arLhGvATX0HyQz6dTIKFj_HI2T4/edit#!
