Learning Actions: 38 + 14 - 2 (20% of 14 rounded down) = 50
They also crit fail at 2/3 DC rounded down instead of 1/2 DC rounded down
- DC 80 -> 97% chance of not crit failing, 99% with XP (rolling a nat 1)
- DC 100 -> 84% chance of not crit failing, 94% with XP
- DC 120 -> 70% chance of not crit failing, 80% with XP
- DC 140 -> 56% chance of not crit failing, 66% with XP
- DC 150 -> 50% chance of not crit failing, 60% with XP
- DC 165 -> 40% chance of not crit failing, 50% with xp
DC 165 is the breaking point where it becomes a coin flip with XP, and DC 150 without XP.

Stewardship Actions: 24 + 8 -1 (20% of 8 rounded down) = 31
- DC 60 -> 91% chance of not crit failing, 99% with XP
- DC 80 -> 77% chance of not crit failing, 87% with XP
- DC 100 -> 64% chance of not crit failing, 74% with XP
- DC 120 -> 51% chance of not crit failing, 61% with XP
- DC 121 -> 50% chance of not crit failing, 60% with XP
- DC 136 -> 40% chance of not crit failing, 50% with XP
DC 136 is the breaking point where it becomes a coin flip with XP, and DC 121 without XP.
So even at a DC as high as 120 for Learning actions or around 100 for Stewardship actions, we aren't risking that much in the long run.
Change your perspective on the extra action and consider a boring old regular failure as a 'success', a bare failure as a crit success (which the halved DC actually might cause in the next turn), and a success / crit success as winning the jackpot.
Just give them high DC actions (assuming they aren't something that we really don't want to be sabotaged). Sure, we might take the occasional crit fail, but it is worth it. The odds are still rigged in our favor.
