Sort of. If I understand DanteYoda correctly, they are talking about the checks in a row. Which makes the probability of getting to a desired result much less than meeting a DC 15 on d20. With Thac0 you only had a single number to beat but when you have check 1, check 2, check 3 all in the same dialogue you need to calculate not just the probability but the chances of making a check but the likelihood of making three in a row.

I like the dice as they are, they feel like fair dice to me but I think a DM who asks the player to make three persuasion checks in a row in the same dialogue is being a bit of jerk.

Edit: I agree with everyone saying this needs to be in the log and we should know why we failed.

Edit2: Thac0 was brilliant and completely intuitive. Long live thac0!
