MExalted 3rd Dicepool Thresholds

For a given level of 'threat' from an opponent's dicepool, use the following values:

1-3: Trivial Opponent. PCs guaranteed to crush with main specialty, guaranteed success with secondary, success very likely with tertiary. Fair challenge against no-investment areas. (Generally just worth handwaving. No point to rolling this except for ego-stroking)
4-6: Lesser opponent. PCs guaranteed to crush with main specialty, success highly likely with secondary, fair match against tertiary investment. Actually competent opposition begins here.
7-8: Challenging opponent. PCs likely to succeed with main specialty, fair match with secondary (leaning towards PC before charm use), Difficult challenge for tertiary investment. Difficult, but not unbeatable opposition before charms.
9-11: Masterful opponent. PCs evenly matched on main specialty, slightly outmatched with secondary, grossly outmatched with tertiary investment. Charm use needed to guarantee success.
12+: Superhuman opponent. Charm use needed to compete against, as well as a maxed out dicepool OR heavy Excellency use.
