My method for these was each player rolls a d6 (which on average will yield a result of 3.5). these numbers are totaled and compared to a tsarget number of between 3 and 4.
I don't remember a lot of ways I used this but it can be used for surprise, perception, or remembering a piece of info that the players and not the characters have forgotten.
What do you think of this?

What do you think of this? So if ten players rolled the average of 3.5 but the target number was a 3.6, then they would fail if they were rolling high or succeed if rolling low. That is interesting. I wonder how that would compare with the normal surprise roll that a lot of people use? |

So how often were they failing versus succeeding? |

I had trouble scaling how many die a solo monster would roll and ended up rolling what they did. This idea i prob wrth spending a little time thinking about |
