I have a similar generic system that I adapt to each system.  In P&P case I
use
the generic point table I have devised like good rolepling is 2 points superb
is
5..voices is 1 more..etc basied on a table i use.

I don't believe though a  failure like that or 'messing with fate' can be done
just with jossing some points around.  Seems unfair.  I mean a abysmal should
be just that and should flow with the game.

I use the mep formula for 25 points 1 CP since in a typical session a player
might get up to 10 if he is doing a real good game or as little as 1 or 2.

Again some systems use this as well.  I believe one was Fantasy hero where you
can give a point to correct a critical hit.  To me again a bit unfair it
seems.  So I tend not to do it.

Most of my players like the system i use with some tweaking but it works...
