Hello! Leading the campaign, I had a disagreement with one of the players about a critical failure. I will describe the situation for a better understanding.
My player has a bonus of the skill of medetsin 14. She throws out 1 and her final result is 15. Here the disagreements begin. Step 4: Determine the Degree of Success and Effect Chapter 9: Playing the Game says the following: "This means that a natural 20 usually results in a critical success and natural 1 usually results in a critical failure. However, if you were going up against a very high DC, you might get only a success with a natural 20, or even a failure if 20 plus your total modifier is 10 or more below the DC. Likewise, if your modifier for a statistic is so high that adding it to a 1 from your d20 roll exceeds the DC by 10 or more, you can succeed even if you roll a natural 1! If a feat, magic item, spell, or other effect does not list a critical success or critical failure, treat is as an ordinary success or failure instead. "
In the description of the skill of medecine, there is the result of cretic failure.
1 is always a critical failure? Or at high levels with low DCs, a drop of 1 simply lowers the degree of success
