Hi-

The review does not mention several differences in success rolls chapter compared to 3e.

First, contests of skills are modified for abilities greater than 20. Instead of subtracting the same quantity from both abilities, both scores are multiplied by the same fraction. This rationlizes contests where really big values are involved.

Second, extra effort rules have been simplified and there are optional extra effort rules for use in combat.

Finally, there are new rules allowing a player to modify the results of a success roll by expending character points.
