if skill1 x skill2 < 10

[le Redoutable]

sorry I don't know how to name this topic
here we go :

the idea here is :
a skill may reach any level;
from one round to the other you multiply value x skill
where value is the result of last round multiplications
example:
you begin the encounter with a skill of 3;
next round you use a skill of 4
now value is 3x4
between each round you divide value by 10
so now value is 12/10===>1.2
to stay engaged in the encounter you must have a value of 1+
if you wish to stay in the encounter you must use a 9+
a 9 will produce 1.2 x 9 / 10 ===> 1.08
this rounds to three rounds of fight ( or whatever )
next:
if a skill reaches 10 your value will never drop below 1
and if your skill exceeds 10 you will even retrieve breath ( or whatever , hope it is not too hazy folks )

Too much multiplication and decimal numbers for fluent play at the table. I would ask the question "What are you trying to archive with this?" Isn't there a simpler way to get this?

Also: why don't you use your single big 9+ skill all the time? Wouldn't this system result in a very samey round by round action? The good thing is, that I CAN use my Persuade skill from time to time, even though I am not good at it. With this system I would drop out for not investing enough?

euh when you're young tou often love to win easily;
given time ( and after a long use of winnings at games ) you get bored with easy victories;
that's where work begins :
in lieu of improving the stat that you used to use to get a win, you begin to watch low stats/skills and try to improve them fairly ...

so, when you reach the Level 10 in a stat do you enter the world of Infinity ?
does the world of Infinity provides you with an unlimited #slots to drop cards of any Level ?



( makes me think of Max Spells of a given Spell Level limited by High Intelligence ( from 1st Ed ( and also 2nd Ed if I remember correctly ) ) )

well, in lieu of multiplying scores from round to round, it could be much easier to add scores, and then substracting 10 from the result;
as long that you have a positive result you can continue with no halt ( like in catching your breath )
