Ouch. Maybe this D20 thing wasn't such a good idea after all...

It'll be fine. For starters there is the skills system to do under-the-hood adjustments. So those that succeed will get better at it. Things like awareness are more party oriented anyway so as long as one person sees it then the group would respond and with six people. Then there's the fact that the readers can also fudge any roll they want 1 value (thus why I say upcoming rolls) or even ask for rolls to be made. But ultimately, it adds variability in a story that doesn't require the protagonists win. I think it'll add more investment long-term because there will always be this uncertainty about if they'll succeed. I had already admitted that they will only have plot armor to keep them from dying. From failing? Nothing at all. There are 15 other teams, after all.
