Have repeated actions while confused improve success?

To be more clear, perhaps give second, third, etc. attempts at using the same talent (possibly in a row, possibly just while under the same confusion debuff) make it more likely for that one to go through. So if you really, really want to teleport out or somethin', you won't fail four times in a row or somethin'.

If you reduce it by 10% every time, statistically you would only see a significant improvement after the 3rd try or so (at 50% confusion power).

I'd maybe even argue for a flat out breakpoint, SM. Say it just auto-succeeds on the third or fourth sequential attempt at the same talent. Basically trying to prevent outlying RNG screwing where you fail to teleport like five times in a row or somethin', y'know?

Might be room to do something else, as well. Thinking on it, maybe have the Tac AI take over and use a talent from the same group as the one you attempted? That might be... well, interesting. I'm not sure if it'd be better or worse than just flat failing and losing a turn...
