Pantheon membership doesn't automatically confer the dominance the Head has onto all new members, but they still get their bonuses against you for that purpose.
...I apparently missed that when you first described it. I'd been assuming that the values were the actual values (that is, 2 is 2, 5 is 5, 11 is 11, instead of 1, 10, and 55). What do you mean by "DCs will broken up into sets of 20"? As in, they usually are values like 20, 40, 60, etc? or that whatever the DC is, successes are given at 20 point increments passed it, so a 65 or higher on a DC 25 check is a major success?
Actual values twists things too badly as you have the highest chance to just roll an 11, and makes skills less effective. The latter, though I'll generally just use 20/40/60/etc.
So. After reading @Abby Normal's questions on the subject, I find that I actually didn't understand what you were doing (and why) as well as I through you did.
Not saying to never marry anyone, only that now is not the time. We need time to fortify our position before we seek an audience with her.
. I have added it and you would merely have to copy it to your master plan. It's easier to ask for people to speak up to disagree than it is to get them to speak up to agree.
Ahh--so, generally, a 7 or higher is a single success, ignoring modifiers? and with 4 skill that 6 in this update was probably a single success? And to get a Major Success to trigger Moonbeam, we'd need an 11 (value 55, plus ~8, for >60) or higher atm? (Edit: which has a 55% chance to happen, which is much more often than i'd assumed when we picked up moonbeam, and with 10 skill we'll only need a 10, which boosts the chances to 64%?)

What we know is that Saiga used to be very different until roughly a century ago, what makes you think it wasn't the Crone and part of why he is under her? We also know that she at least has someone with higher Craft and Art to be able to use create those amulets and managed to keep his services.
@Abby Normal
I'm kinda busy too, and your help to argue for the plan

We are adding to some things to the plan to get more things.
People want to add something interesting to it and realistically why would he want to marry Gaerig if we are already giving him everything we have to offer? It's to entice him further because the plan is no husbando yet. We need something to keep him coming back.
Thank you for the notice. However, I'm afraid that changing the plan in this fashion probably loses my vote. I vote for the No Husbando (yet) plan largely because the demands were streamlined - they were simple, eloquent, and definitely stuff that was worth asking for. The proposed new plan doesn't fit this bill.I'm kinda busy too, and your help to argue for the plan

Do you have any suggestions to help streamline it? It is an attempt to help consolidate votes against marriage. We need all the help we can get._.
I mean, i'm not too fond of the suggestions myself; i think i still would prefer it to the marriage plan, but i'm not sure...incidentally, can you edit the posts where you tagged people to make it clear that we haven't actually made the change, but are discussing possible changes, please?
As opposed to percentile rolls of 2d10, in which the second die basically does nothing, and you might as well be rolling a 1d10 with the one's die being mostly useless flavor. Functionally, rolling a 7 is no different from an 8 on a percentile die. A 48 is just a 49. The 2d10 lets me merge the mostly-useless extra numbers and have clear values for a given roll. The 2d10 allows me to also make use of value modifiers, die adjustments that are more or less effective the closer you are to the average roll, which is something that stacked successes in extended encounters generally cause, or the Shrine defense bonus, etc.
Generally, a 10 or higher is a success, no skills accounted (40 is usually my base success threshold for moderate difficulty actions). To get a major success for moonbeam, you'd need an 80, at least a 14 on the scale so long as you've got skill points.
'fraid not. As far as I could tell, the original plan hit all the important points - we were willing to accept his appeasement, and would even bless his people after they built us a shrine, but he would need to tell us more about the local environs before we were willing to get married. I think all of these elements are important and useful; there isn't much to get rid of. The only thing you could do is try adding elements, but I'm not the right person to ask about what those might be - the things I cared about are already in the plan as-is.
What are these value modifiers you speak of?
I'm not sure what exactly you mean by this (mechanically that is, in terms of effects on the dice/calculated value/probability)
Did we ever find out how much this is, btw?
Mainly I don't like the near ultimatum where we only agree to lay off of him if he offers us another target. Also, no Husbando is pretty much exactly what I want, so unless it gets changed I'm afraid you are out of luck.

Skills and other straight modifiers go immediately to a percent increase. Some more esoteric bonuses like the Shrine Defense, or stacked prior successes, apply first, and apply to the roll as written, not to your percentages. I haven't notated them because it clutters things up, like trying to write the actual % of each die roll next to each die roll.
One reward for each task, but start with the easiest thing and work your way up. Calm, then fortune telling once a year or whatever, and then the super armor. The current order annoys my sense of proper pacing and grandeur.
@Abby Normal. @PrimalShadow what do you think of this idea? After every task we give him(and the people) rewards.
Yes. I value Saiga's goodwill sufficiently that I'm not interested in making ultimatums that threaten his bottom line. Furthermore, at present, raiding anywhere else would probably force us into conflict with other spirits, and I'm not feeling all that ready for this overall.
So a 10 in a skill is only worth a single success tier?
