Start with what succeeded
Describe the character's attempt and the action it belongs to. That context gives the extra benefit a clear reason to exist.

Individual subscription accessIn Desktop Control Centre
Reward the exceptional roll
Give success a useful edge.
An exceptional result can change the scene without taking over the adventure. Choose a benefit that follows from what succeeded and leaves the next challenge ready to play.
Keep a limit in view
The result can help a great deal while still leaving choices, uncertainty and future challenges for the group.
Meaningful extra benefits
Make the advantage fit the action.
A discovery, saved time or helpful reaction can each make a success feel special. Choose the kind of extra benefit that fits what the character achieved.
Who notices and what happens next help connect that benefit to the people and places in your campaign.
What the success can add
Choose an advantage that belongs in the scene.
Use the suggestions as preparation and decide which details fit your table.
Useful information
Give the character a detail that matters because of how well the action went. Use it to inform the next decision.
Time saved
Let the success create breathing room, an earlier arrival or a quicker way through part of the task.
A better position
Consider an advantageous place or situation that grows naturally from the successful action.
Resources worth finding
A useful resource can reward the moment without becoming an unrelated treasure hoard.
Helpful reactions
Decide who notices and how their response creates a useful opening for the character or group.
A secondary objective
Let the exceptional result help with another part of the task while the larger challenge remains.
A discovery
Add a meaningful find or an unexpected detail that fits the action and the scene.
Reputation earned
Consider recognition that follows from the deed. You decide how the people in your campaign respond.
A future opportunity
Give the success a possible advantage for later preparation, conversation or another related attempt.
A bounded scale
Choose a magnitude from small to legendary or leave it to chance. Match the benefit's reach and visibility to the stakes.
From attempt to advantage
Prepare the reward around the roll.
Describe the attempt, choose its action type and magnitude, then decide whether to prepare an effect for the real roll or use it now.
Deep choices add the kind of benefit, who rolled, things to avoid and private context. Keep any rules suggestion separate from the narrative.
Quick and Deep
Start simply. Add the context you need.
You choose how much detail to bring to the preparation.
Quick preparation
Begin with the attempted action, magnitude and timing. Use the proposed extra result as a starting point for the scene.
Deeper context
Choose the kind of benefit, identify who rolled and add limits or private context that matter to this attempt.
Magnitude and visibility
A small edge and a legendary achievement have different reach. Match the scale to the action and the stakes.
Review before using it
Adapt the suggestions to your campaign and check what you intend to share. Your judgement and your table's rules remain in charge.
An advantage with boundaries
Leave the next challenge ready to play.
A successful action can open a path, reveal a useful detail or leave an opportunity for later. That advantage does not need to solve the wider problem.
Consider what bounds the result and who notices it. You decide how those suggestions affect the group's next choices.
Keep the table in control
Narrative first. Rules remain yours.
The generator offers material to consider; you decide what happens in play.
An edge, with a limit
Reward the exceptional roll without wish fulfilment or solving the whole adventure. Keep the benefit grounded in what succeeded.
A separate rules suggestion
If you request a mechanical suggestion, consider it alongside the system you are using. It does not replace that system's rules.
Real rolls still matter
Preparing an effect does not replace the dice. Use the actual result at the table to decide when the preparation applies.
Standalone preparation
This generator does not start or alter Combat PRO combat or turn a single roll into an automatic victory.

Scope, preparation and account access at a glance.
What does Critical Success Effect Generator create?
It creates an extra benefit that grows from an exceptional successful action, with who notices, what bounds the result and a possible future advantage.
Does a critical success solve the adventure?
No. The approved product information keeps each benefit believable and bounded. The result creates an edge, not wish fulfilment or an automatic victory.
What is the difference between Quick and Deep?
Quick starts with the attempt, action type, magnitude and roll timing. Deep adds the kind of benefit, who rolled, things to avoid, private context and the choice of an optional rules suggestion.
Can I keep the result narrative?
Yes. You can keep the extra benefit narrative or request a clearly separate mechanical suggestion. Your table's rules decide whether and how to apply that suggestion.
Does it replace the dice or start Combat PRO combat?
No. Use the real roll and your table's rules. The generator does not start or change combat, and one result does not turn into an automatic victory.
