Penalty dice do the opposite, requiring you to keep the highest of the tens digits. You keep the lowest of the tens digits, greatly improving the chance of success. If you have two bonus dice that means you'd roll 3 tens digits and one ones digit. In both cases you roll additional "tens" digits of your percentile roll. There is also the concept of bonus and penalty dice, often used for contested skill rolls. In my experience this tends to make success very unlikely unless multiple characters are making an attempt at something. Extreme requires rolling under a fifth of the stat.
