[FMA] Tasks and rolling a one

If the character rolls higher than the task difficulty die score, then the
character succeeds in the attempted action; if the character's roll is less
than or equal to the difficulty die score then the attempt fails.

I suggest that if a ONE is rolled, the character has a chance of a critical
failure, not an automatic failure. To determine if there is a critical
failure, roll the character's quality dice against their Morale Level. Rolling
over their Morale Level indicates that the character merely failed for now,
and can try again at the next opportunity, otherwise the character suffers the
effects of a critical failure.

I've been testing this rule out using my PAT and Simply Melee rules, and it's
surprising how many times a ONE comes up on a FMA dice roll. This rule stops
the battlefield from becoming littered with broken blades, jammed firearms,
and melted blasters.
