Whenever you roll a natural 19 or 20 on any Skill Roll (before modifiers), it qualifies as a potential trigger for gaining an Ascension Skill Point (ASP), in addition to the standard natural 20. Following a qualifying roll, the system makes a secondary confirmation roll (a d20 with no modifiers). If this secondary roll meets or exceeds the tier of the skill being used, you earn 1 ASP. This effectively doubles your chance (to approximately 10% on meaningful rolls) of advancing your skills, reflecting your exceptional ability to learn from experience.
Example: Having a -1 would mean the range to initiate an ASP, normally at 20, would now be 19 or 20.
