... That is no different from (PC stat - NPC stat) + d10 - ( 10 - d10 ) or (PC stat - NPC stat) + d10 + d10 - 10 or PC stat + 2d10 >= NPC stat + 10 (*) why...

I've got a system that I use for skill checks that I like a lot. Upon reading your idea, I think it could be used for combat checks as well. The basic idea is...
A drawback to 3d6 is that is very "chunky" in the middle of the bell curve. A 1-point adjustment from needing to roll a 10+ to needing to roll an 11+ is a...
If the player is always going to be rolling the dice, perhaps it would be fine to allow this small probability discrepancy, as it would slightly favour their...
Well I believe that's the point of the original post. In DnD3E, the "chunk" for a skill roll is 5%. That is, each + 1 modifier adds The DnD3E "take 10" rule...
Hi, A question I have about this one roll mechanic. What happens when two, or more, player characters are the combatants? Who gets to roll? -- Marc Lombart ICQ...
Yes, that's true. But if a GM shifts to a system where he is predominantly using 3d6 rolls for skill and combat checks, he will have the problem that a +1...
By the same reasoning the player with the higher skill already has an advantage - why increase it further? My opinion is that in the interests of game balance,...
