Interpret d100 science outcomes by mapping the roll to outcome bands that scale based on specimens spent and party level, determining effects on gadgets, resources, or crises. Resolve specimen spending first, then apply the appropriate band consequences.

Balance risk and reward in science lab experiments by spending specimens to scale potential rewards and threats, rolling a d100, and applying outcome bands. More specimens spent and higher party levels increase both potential gains and dangers.

Yes, science outcome adjudication applies to both ship-wide and crew-level effects during experimental campaigns. Outcomes are treated as narrative events with location and system consequences that tie results to ship systems and character state.

Outcome bands scale with specimens spent and party level by increasing both potential rewards and threats simultaneously. Higher specimen expenditure and party levels produce more pronounced effects mapped from the d100 roll to gadgets, resources, or crises.

Narrative adjudication priorities treat science lab outcomes as narrative events with location and system consequences rather than purely mechanical effects. Results are tied to ship systems and character state, enforcing story-driven interpretation of d100 outcomes.

Specimen expenditure resolution is limited by the outcome band structure, which constrains effects to gadgets, resources, or crises. Scaling logic binds results to party level and specimens spent, meaning outcomes cannot exceed the threat-reward band those inputs define.
