I couldn't find a way to properly explain what I meant in the title, so lemme try to do so through some examples. This is obviously something that's only applicable to combat RP based on the use of /random.

Scenario 1
Your character is fighting somebody. Their foe makes the first move, rolling a 350. You roll for a counter-attack, and get 450.

Scenario 2
Your character is fighting somebody. Their foe makes the first move, rolling a 58. You roll for a counter-attack, and get 900.

Your character wins the exchange in both instances. However, in the first scenario, you roll only a little higher than the other person, and in the second, there's a huge disparity. So I'm wondering, is that something you would take into account when writing up your RP response? Like, if you rolled only a little higher, would you RP your characters counter-attack/parry/action of choice as being less effective than you would if you had rolled much higher than the other person, or would you ignore the difference between the rolls and RP an attack which rolled 900 the same as you would RP one which rolled a 200? Assuming both rolls resulted in your character winning the exchange.

Hopefully I'm making sense! It's not really an important thing, but it's something I've been a lil curious about. Super new to RP, so I'm not entirely sure how people incorporate things like rolls into their RP beyond just success/fail.
