Difficulty Level DL

Sometimes it is required to give a difficulty level DL for the determination of a Skill Level or Attribute Test. The gamemaster must give a DL for a task. The task is solved successfully if the character rolls $\leq$ 50+ (applicable % or attribute) - DL.

Example:: A character wants to enter a computer system. He has got a Computer Hacking % of 58. The gamemaster says, that it is a ``gifted task'' with a DL of 55. So the character needs to roll $\leq$ 50+58-55=53 to be successful.
Example:: A character wants to spot a hidden character. His VIS attribute is 35. The gamemaster gives this task a DL of 30 (average to above average). The character must roll $\leq$ 50+35-30=55 to spot the hidden guy.

DL	Description	Example
-30 to 0	dull task	walking, eating
0	very easy task	simple operations
0 to 10	easy to task	solving problems
10 to 20	average task	swimming, climbing
30 to 40	above average task	computer operations
50 to 60	hard task	mathematics
60 to 70	gifted task	nuclear physics
80 to 90	superhuman task
90 to 100	impossible
100 and more	``god-like''
