In this case, though, I must admit we hashed it out quite a bit.  The
upshot is:

No two net.people can agree on seven adjectives that form a progression
for the worst to the best.  Some have to be rejected because of other
connotations (such as Average - a Good swordsman gets a Good result on
the average, for example . . .).  Since no one can agree, I just chose
the seven that made the most sense to me and added a caveat that the GM
should change them as needed.  Your example wouldn't help me at all,
for instance:  I can easily see a difference between Good and Great,
but would have a hard time telling the difference between Excellent and
Superb . . .

But thanks for the feedback - always welcome!
