1) Is there any differnce between doing 1 expermental point at a time or going for the entire amount.

Example: Rolling the "craft" Dice one by one, Trying to get 6 or more Great Successes on something.

Or Going for broke and just adding 6 points to one area, And hopeing for the best.

I've done it both ways and haven't noticed much differnce other then you get a few more chances Not to screw it up via the single point method.

2) Chance of failure. The red bar that fills as you use experimental points. Is that the chance of failure or the chance of success.

By the rate of my failures, I'd have to say its chance of failure. Just looking for confirmation.

Thanks

From what I've experimented on, there is no real difference with experimenting 1 at a time or all of it at once. The bar on the right side is the chance that it will fail because as you try to add more experimental points, that number will increase. The more you try to experiment at a time, the more likely it is to fail. However, if you do 1 point at a time, it will always (at least for me) have a 25% chance to fail. If you add say 3 points at once, there will be only a 35% or so chance to fail. 1 35% or 3 25%... Which do you think is better?

In the earlier stages of experimenting, you may be less likely to have a critical failure if you use your points one by one.

At more advanced stages of your skill tree, depending on your mind pool, you may find it makes little difference.

Oh, so mind affects it. Heh, just another reason being a mon calamari artisan is good.
