... General formula, rolling two dM: P(N is lowest) = [1 + 2*(M-N)]/M2 P(N is highest) = [1 + 2*(N-1)]/M2 General formula, rolling three dM: P(N is lowest): =...
Hallo, ... Hmm. How about allowing players to select which kind of armor the character prefers during chargen. The "knack" with the armor allows for...
Hallo, ... Toss in an idea and let it get bounced around. It'll either disintegrate or turn into a shiny, polished rock you can happily put into a game. Larry ...
... Eh... I don't prefer this approach, really. Perhaps rules taht reflect other aspects of the fighting styles and perhaps give bonuses to certain sorts of...

My group hacked out such a system. Add all your dots and add to the result of a mid3d20 roll. Say you want to make a Perception Alertness, and the character in...
